You are a student of philosophy, aren't you? Where you put your efforts is where your allegiances lie. The rest all is mind playing games.

So have I read. Ever read the story of two wolves. The wolf that fattens is the wolf that is fed. The wolf that dies is the wolf that is starved. There is low-hanging fruit and some requires climbing up a tree and there is risk of broken leg. Ask Nicolas for the fruits out of reach. Get in to open and see what they are. Needless, you don't have to play my game. You can pander or ponder. Just saying. --
