that slight disconnect from the rest of reality is a useful tool in dealing with the madness, both my own and that of the rest of humanity. i consider my bitterness as a recovering alcoholic considers that next drink, knowing it as a crutch and shying away at the last moment for the sake of his own sanity. my unconditional indifference is not absolute, just as my unconditional loves were not. yes, i have been there and some remnants remain.

man was not meant for unconditional anything, our rational minds are far too restless. our instincts betray us as we search for weakness even in those we love, knowing that they too are searching for some lapse in contentment. our better selves may forgive, but that evil spark within us all will never forget.
