No. In this case you don't seen to have any clue who I am. I'm getting so tired of this. I am the weakest among you, don't you understand? But only in a sense. In another sense...in my sense, I am the strongest. Perhaps that is nonsense. I don't care. It gives me that courage which a trick of fate denied me. It lets me do things you don't even recognize are difficult. I change my mind every moment. The only peace I've ever found is in resolving to hold something constant...and I have chosen good. I don't claim to know what it means, so I rely on all of you to help me see it.
