"Let's assume we start in the ideal position, face to face and eye to eye with the universe, seeing it all, like a baby, and learning to make sense of it bit by bit. And at some point in our development, we come across a bit of the universe we really, really don't like. ("We," of course, consist at this point of a solid core of reason surrounded by a dense cloud of emotion. The emotion comes first. This is important. Reason is what we learn to do after emotion works out that it can't get everything it wants by yelling. Doesn't matter if you're male or female, white or non-white, religious or atheist, it's the same for everybody. Emotion comes first and emotion rules. Reason serves emotion. Always. If you think you are ruled by reason, it's because your cloud of emotion has got really good at looking transparent. To you, at least.)""
This is possibly the most fabulous paragraph you have ever written. (But then I say that after a bottle of Bishop's Finger and 2.3 bottles of Hobgoblin... HIc! =:o} )
And now you've got me wondering who the heck Patient S. is.
