I still stand by this, and often kinda am able to live into it a lot.

there's a minor gray lining to that silver cloud, which is, when you like or love most everything in the world it can be tougher to make really peak experience stand out (and I guess if you were always peaking, floating on a crowd of euphoria, that might be a challenging way to be anyway) and/or show the individuals who are most special to you that they are the most special. Sort of a "figure-ground" art thing. But I'm trying to get the knack of that as well.

Screw Trump's idea of "justice". It's retribution, not law and order.

And it doesn't help deter crime.

But I'm sure it feels like it does, right? And that's all that matters - the vibes, not any evidence, and sure as hell not any sense of mercy.
