I know that my type of sarcasm is of the same nature that got Socrates that big glass full of poison hemlock juice, but didn't he also know what it might get him? Maybe he gulped it down happily for a reason. I truly am sorry if I have ever hurt anyone's feelings. Feelings do heal though, but I fear this modern world never will. I just feel a need to try in any way I can, not for fame or money, but for the future. Fame and money mean nothing without future. Do you love the thought of the future, or hate It? What is love and hate? Do you get it yet?

Being Socrates Means Never Saying You're Sorry
I know that my type of sarcasm is of the same nature that got Socrates that big glass full of poison hemlock juice, but didn't he also know what it might get him? Maybe he gulped it down happily for a reason. I truly am sorry if I have ever hurt anyone's feelings. Feelings do heal though, but I fear this modern world never will. I just feel a need to try in any way I can, not for fame or money, but for the future. Fame and money mean nothing without future. Do you love the thought of the future, or hate It? What is love and hate? Do you get it yet?
I feel like my words are coming from some unseen place, and I take no credit
