Things are seldom what they seem as the sense of perpetual deja vu makes dreams translucent and omnipresent a reality, like fried ice cream.

I rationalize the basis for accepting opposing views, as I will never be angry with a person who has a viewpoint different than mine—even when irrationality seems to be their guide….however I allow myself to get beyond that boundary when it comes to physical actions opposing mine…Yes, I get angry, hurt and motivated to retaliate, when I see evil take the shape of a person imposing the posture of attack— invoking the unmitigated gaul to bring unprovoked harm to an unsuspecting other. Outside of the boundaries of declared or declaring war, taking actions that convert citizens to victims is a shameful sin.

Fried Ice Cream is a reality and everyday I challenge myself not to scream, as things are seldom what they seem.
