Didn't you ever learn that it is fundamentally rude to start off a lecture on (n)etiquette by speculating "you seem to be a young adult who..."? You then proceed to recommend that I read something, but you can't quite seem to figure out what exactly it is that you want me to read, except that you seem to think that it should be something about (n)etiquette. Perhaps you should follow your own advice. If you would like an itemized response to the rest of this Bill of ParticularsI have no problem providing it to you, but it is 2:30 PM on a Friday and I have both business and social events on my calendar. I don't know how they do things in C.R. but on this side of the pond we put LOW PRIORITY nit-picking like these items you are so concerned about over to the next business day.

Pending a further detailed response to your summons and complaint, you may wish to ponder the following quotes,loosely translated, which have the advantage of being available,in the original, in the Czech language. Perhaps you can correct the translations with nuances not available to myself. When it comes to Czech, it's Greek to me.



These quotes were selected and ordered by myself and they proceed to a definite point regarding all the static and drama going on here lately: VH

"The attempt to devote oneself to word craft alone is a most deceptive thing, and often, paradoxically, it is language that suffers for it." VH

"There's always something suspect about an intellectual asserting himself triumphant and his opponent vanquished." VH

There's always something suspect about an intellectual on the winning side. VH

The deeper the experience of an absence of meaning - in other words, of absurdity - the more energetically meaning is sought VH

Hope is a feeling that life and work have meaning. You either have it or you don't, regardless of the state of the world that surrounds you. ~VH

Hope is a state of mind, not of the world. Hope, in this deep and powerful sense, is not the same as joy that things are going well, or willingness to invest in enterprises that are obviously heading for success, but rather an ability to work for something because it is good.
