Even a guy's wife can't understand everything I guess. I shouldn't get upset
then at e-communications and the misunderstandings that arise therein. The most
discouraging thing was what dmb said, but it wasn't his misunderstanding of me
that was upsetting, it was his comment about Dan's buddist story, some vague
thing about a sign, he says. See, that was discouraging. Because I, like
Marsha, absolutely love that story. ...And dmb, evidently, didn't even recall
the music and poetry in that simple prose koan. ...What's discouraging beyond
hope, is that evidently he doesn't believe in good.
dmb replies sarcastically:
Oh, yea. I know exactly what you mean. When people only vaguely recall a story
that I love, it's just devastating. Sometimes I mope around for days when
people don't recall the details about the things I love. And this memory lapse
reveals their true nature of course, as a person who doesn't believe in good,
as a person who doesn't "get it". Sigh. What's wrong with people? Why can't
they obsessively cling to the things I love? I mean, if I love it and they
don't, well obviously that means there is something wrong with them.
For example, people who choose vanilla when they could've had chocolate ought
to be shot. How dare they!
And the nonsense just keeps gets deeper, doesn't it? Good advice for guys stuck
in holes: Stop digging.
