re: #152 McSpiff

I kind of deal with that in my own personal life. I just reconnected with an old friend of mine, from like twelve years ago, who coincidentally in New York.

The first thing I said to him when we met up is, “Yeah, so I’m sane now.” He laughed. He said, “You always knew what sane was. You just used to think, ‘now, what would a sane person do?’ and then do the exact opposite.”

And yet I’m still me, even though I’ve obviously changed a hell of a lot, and he doesn’t find himself hypocritical for considering me insane then, and sane now. And I’m not a hypocrite for having been a crazy bastard back then, and being a sane, responsible dude now.

I want to know who these people are who are born perfect and glide through life without making any mistakes or taking any positions they later reverse.

They sound like smug assholes.
