In answer to your prayer
sincere, the centre of
your circle here,
i stand ; and , without
taking thought,-
i know nothing. But i can
Full well your need-as
you be men
This: Re-Creation. With a
bow,
Then, your obedient
servant now.
One gift is all i find in me,
And that is faithful
memory

1) Thinking abstractly about Life.
2) Complexifying with Words
3) Reifying concepts you make up.

Seeing things as they are.
You see...a pimp's love is very different from that of a square.
Dating a stripper is like eating a noisy bag of chips in church. Everyone looks at you in disgust, but deep down they want some too.

Von, lunch isn't for a while. I just had a delicious breakfast. At 1pm. Sometime around 6 or 7, I'll probably cook again. Come by dude I've got plenty to go around. I usually invite a handful of people over to enjoy my amazing cooking. So you might even meet some cool people or a few hos. Hos love free food.

If things are such that you can't see them the way they are then once you see that you are. If I had more than 5 words I would have explained this more.

Okay, taking my answer, "How ought one to live?", and intertwining it in Mr. Reasonable's, "Seeing things as they are", how ought one to see things in order to know how one ought to live?
