Split The Difference

Up or Down, Right or Wrong

All religions must be tolerated... for... every man must get to heaven his own way.
— Frederick the Great (1712-1786)

The titled responsion adds to this concept of heaven that really, in my opinion, is a personal purgatory.

Set free through the virtuous actions of your habitual behaviour, the actions that you act out and the experience make up your identity forme your future self.

Everything that goes into my mouth seems to make me fat, everything that comes out of my mouth embarrasses me.
— Gabriel García Márquez (1927-2014)

The titled responsion is called Gabriel out on his self-depreciation in a playful way. Are you kidding me? What comes out of your mouth, more specifically your writing is remarkable.

Remembering Márquez as a towering literary figure with a solid base is nourishing to all that consume his books. How's that for splitting the difference? If I side on the altruistic side just blame it on game theory, by far it's the most efficient for the survival of our species.
