- Final thoughts...
- -----------------
-
- As I write this file, I can't help but wonder to myself if anyone
- will get the point. I find myself doubting that people will actually
- read through and consider the definitions and quotes. I have been
- sitting here for over ten hours researching quotes that I feel help
- reflect my point. But that just leads me to wonder what my point is.
- I mean, I know what my point is, but I don't think I can adequately
- reflect it through my own words. Furthermore, I know that it is
- possible to get a double meaning out of some of these quotes. So I
- am trusting you to make the right choice in trying to decipher my
- meaning.
-
- I think the best bet is for you the reader to think about things yourself.
- Draw your own conclusions based on the text above. After all, your own
- thoughts are the most powerful message I can deliver.
