Those James boys were neurotic, but extremely productive. Unlike those other James boys who acted out a bit too much.

On the "True" and the "Good" I worry that Truth is as ultimately evasive as any other god-concept. In my opinion, Lather, you are right to worry. I should perhaps have added a sentence to my original statement: Just because believing something would make me feel good does not mean it is true. That sentence would be: It also does not mean I cannot act as if* it were true.* Personally, I do a lot of as-iffing, in matters of importance to me. That is, even if I cannot be sure that something I believe is true, when I need to act, I will act as if it were true. Tha's called, I believe, "living in a state of existential tension." <gg> Joan
