Should one behave to the prevailing social customs above all other considerations? Are social customs more important than thinking and acting independently? Was the pain you experienced from those breakups rational? I consider myself a human being, and I like human beings. I like dogs and cats too. Do you think RMP likes women? Then? Now? The book was named LILA, and was to some degree about a relationship between a man and a woman. Do you think RMP was, or is, afraid of women? Does RMP's portrayal of Lila reflect his attitude? Ever wonder about that? "He always wanted to know what she thought but he'd never tell her what he thought. Always playing around the edges. " (LILA Chapter 18) What do you think SA? Everyone? Someone offlist wrote about his curiosity concerning this topic? Anyone else curious?
