My Bible quarter is tomorrow and I haven't prepared yet. I suppose I think I can leave it until the last minute. That is a shaky theory at best. It's so late! I should have been in bed sleeping hours ago! but I'm so stupid, I persist in doing the dumbest things. Why, I don't know. There's something perverse in my personality.

When do you suppose I'll just accept the fact that I procrastinate and stay up late, and stop beating myself about the head and shoulders over it? It's not like I'm going to change these habits anytime soon. (Not without a darn impressive reason.)

Tonight, there's this.

Is it the sniper? They don't know yet.

In any case, another person is dead. And that just sucks.

Then people say: Seek to understand first, and then you'll be understood. Give first, and you'll receive. I'm not so sure. There are people who you can seek to understand, seek to give to, and they just take and take and they still don't give a shit about understanding you in return. They're not bad or mean, they're just screwy, or they don't like you very much, or they don't like themselves that much. Who cares? Find someone who's mellow and appreciative, that's what I say, preferably far more mellow and appreciative than you are. Find someone you want to emulate, not someone you want to help.

Read the wider context for these words of wisdom here.

Is it good to understand? Of course. Is it good to behave well to one another even when you don't understand? Absolutely.
