1. I've been asking the opposite question for 25 years |
|
Is it possible to become unconfused and confident about one's identity? Some people have all the luck, I guess. I just remember Lionel Trilling's comment that the road to truth is filled with contradictions, and then let my itinerant identity wander where it will. My house has many rooms, and don't ask about the clutter.

Mine.
I am confused... or maybe I never was and just haven't realized it yet; I tend to be slow at times...

11. Apparently. bush** thinks he talks to God and God talks back. Therefore |
|
bush** has himself confused with someone who isn't such a morally bankrupt evil cretinous bastard.
