"The man who trades freedom for security does not deserve nor will he receive either"

Benjamin Franklin, in Wisdom and Ignorance and Law and Politics

There are two ways of living in the world, embodying a hopeless romantic or becoming a realist.
If you believe you fall in between both, you can see the truth.

Admonished to hate wisely, it is my duty to warn all evil beings that if you kill me, I will hate you for the rest of my life, but other than that, I can only love you to death repeatedly until you tire of my own blatant affections for your immorality's dire need to be reformed. No fun is ever intended or allowed by me. I'm deadly serious about having fun all by myself with very few unavoidable exceptions. At such exceptional times, I forget myself and become a phantom of just cause submitted to no external authority. Despite such an autonomous state, I thoroughly suspect an insidious inner self alternative to my functioning individuality. If I am good, I'm doing all I can, but if I'm bad, I'm even better because the inner being that observes and responds with guidance upon appropriate degrees of receptivity in evidence of things not seen becomes my pilot of moral purpose, and like former Captains of their souls, such as Melchizedek and Jesus, I'm very well directed. We are at our best when the devil's lullaby carries us through all strife! There is no alternative to Perfection.
