| 883f8f7 | It's great that you can listen and be a shoulder to someone, but what about when someone doesn't need a shoulder? What if they need the arms or something like that?

| 59f5f92 | The preachers and lecturers deal with men of straw, as they are men of straw themselves.

| f5ccab1 | I've dreamed a lot. I'm tired now from dreaming but not tired of dreaming. No one tires of dreaming, because to dream is to forget, and forgetting does not weigh on us, it is a dreamless sleep throughout which we remain awake.
