By Eddie Vedder, OST for Into The Wild
It’s a mystery to me
We have a greed
With which we have agreed
You think you have to want
More than you need
Until you have it all you won’t be free
Society, you’re a crazy breed
I hope you’re not lonely without me
When you want more than you have
You think you need
And when you think more than you want
Your thoughts begin to bleed
I think I need to find a bigger place
‘Cos when you have more than you think
You need more space
Society, you’re a crazy breed
I hope you’re not lonely without me
Society, crazy indeed
I hope you’re not lonely without me
There’s those thinking more or less less is more
But if less is more how you keeping score?
Means for every point you make
Your level drops
Kinda like its starting from the top
You can’t do that…
Society, you’re a crazy breed
I hope you’re not lonely without me
Society, crazy indeed
I hope you’re not lonely without me
Society, have mercy on me
I hope you’re not angry if I disagree
Society, crazy indeed
I hope you’re not lonely without me

I’m currently reading Ayn Rand’s We The Living and I would like to post the notables (according to me). That way I won’t forget the things I pick-up from her.
Taken from the second chapter:
“Frankly,” said Victor, “your attitude is slightly antisocial, Kira… we all have our duty to society to consider.”
“Exactly to whom is it that you owe a duty, Victor?”
“To society.”
“What is society?”
“Society, Kira, is a stupendous whole.”
“If you write a whole line of zeroes, it’s still - nothing.”
“I fear for your future, Kira,” said Victor. “It’s time to get reconciled to life. You won’t get far with those ideas of yours.”
“That,” said Kira, “depends on what direction I want to go.”
Need I say more?

Did something ever occur to you where you’ve said something and you wish you did not say it because it will open a discussion, only that discussion should and must not proceed? Well, it happens to me all the time because of my nature. First off, there are two kinds of me - simpleton and enigmatic. Each kind corresponds to a person’s level of acquaintance with me. I’m a simpleton towards a person if that person is familiar or intimate with me. I am transparent towards that person. Otherwise, I’m a complete enigma. For the sake of this entry, I will be referring to my simpleton self.
The wife and I chatted online, catching up on things. Towards the end when the session was about to end, she asked a question based on her observations of how I speak over the phone, talk online, etc. She can analyze me pretty well - quite a feat of her I must say. She knows how I would express certain things through speech patterns and tones. I guess that’s because we’re the same. There’s no escaping so I answered honestly. Then came the follow up question that MUST always supersede that former question. The answer to the follow up question she posed is of highest significance to complete the thought of my answer to the first question, otherwise it would be dangling. Well, you guessed it. I did not answer the follow up question.
I have a dilemma. I’m troubled. Not answering the follow up question definitely breaks the concept of “open to each other.” I feel guilty. The thing is that I probably would bring the answer to my grave, unless she can completely read my mind. Only I, alone, know the answer to the question. To meet halfway with her (I probably gave her more headaches with it), I encrypted the word (only one word answers the question) using SHA-256 and gave the encrypted string as the answer. A simple brute force decryption would solve the mystery. I couldn’t resist her so I had to tell her. I’m relieved.
