Book finished today: Ender in Exile, by Orson Scott Card No one has misconceptions about me. Far be it from me to tell someone their conceptions are wrong. I have my own conceptions and I intensely dislike it when someone tells me they're false. I believe that through the years everything that anyone has ever thought about me have been true at one time or another. Everyone is free to believe whatever they want. But nobody should try to change me based on their conception of me! Wasn't there a poem about the little man that wasn't there, who was encountered on the stairs? Maybe that's just in my imagination. However I have often encountered a man on the stairs, I never cared whether he was really there or not. I just know he is very wise. He has helped me out a lot. Now whenever I go up the stairs, just before I reach the top, I look over my shoulder and sometimes he's there, warning me not to try to go too high. When I am going down, I look back for his advice. Sometimes when I look back he is there. Sometimes he's crying. I go back up to comfort him and realize that maybe he is the reason I never hit bottom. |
