The Delicious Human Assignment
(4)
I think.
But my ingrained skepticism sometimes leads me to question my caricaturization of events. I therefore remain a skeptic even when acting as a critic of my own experience. It seems to me that once you wholeheartedly believe anything you are lost forever, and that you would be better served by a skeptical attitude, always. The trick is to figure out what to believe in the interim, and what not to believe. It is a totally delicious assignment, as I' m sure you will agree. 'Discovering the truth' is a process, not a goal. 'The Truth' - whatever that is - can never be known but can be approached incrementally.
Huh?!
