With or without religion, you would have good people doing good things and evil people doing evil things. But for good people to do evil things, that takes religion.
The good life, as I conceive it, is a happy life. I do not mean that if you are good you will be happy - I mean that if you are happy you will be good.
Too much sanity may be madness and the maddest of all, to see life as it is and not as it should be.
I enjoy paying taxes. With them I buy civilization.

I’ve been having a bit of depression/anxiety the last few days. I’ve been pretty good and not given into the imp of the perverse and said or done anything I’d regret later. This is a definite improvement, I usually do.
I’m feeling a bit better now because I talked to Leah tonight. There is nothing I needed more than to talk to someone who needed to talk to me. She is moving to Montclair, NJ soon. She was supposed to move today but there has been some delay in the paperwork at the new school, Montclair High. I can’t wait till she moves. I will actually get to see her.
Here’s a problem I had planned on writing most of this entry on fighting the depression. When it comes down to it there really isn’t much to say. I know that the things I’m worrying about aren’t rational and even though I can’t stop myself from feeling that way I can stop myself from wallowing. I’m probably going to end up reading something that I’ve read before to get fully over it. The obvious choice is Lord of the Rings but I read that less than a year ago. There was a time that I’d reread it at least four times a year. I think that’s a bit much now. Perhaps it will be Cabell’s Cream of the Jest. I would prefer something less cynical now though. The Once and Future King is a possibility.
Somebody signed my guestbook but I it isn’t working now so I don’t know who it is. The most frequent signers are Gella and Lori so they are my first guesses.
While playing in the library today I found a new Charles Addams exhibit. That reminded me of some more people to add to my list of artists that I can identify with. In addition to Addams, there is Gahan Wilson, and Scott Adams. Have you noticed the affinity I have for people named Adams or Addams? There is Charles, Scott, Douglas, and Cecil, who writes the Straight Dope.
Finally I have to send out a birthday greeting to someone very special.
Happy Birthday Carey!
