So much of the past in encapsulated in the odds and ends. Most of us discard more information about ourselves than we ever care to preserve. Our recollection of the past is not simply distorted by our faulty perception of events remembered but skewed by those forgotten. The memory is like twin orbiting stars, one visible, one dark, the trajectory of what's evident forever affected by the gravity of what's concealed.
What could smell better than supper being cooked by someone else?
Beware the dark pool at the bottom of our hearts. In its icy, black depths dwell strange and twisted creatures it is best not to disturb.

My notion of an elegant table is you don't leave the knife sticking out of the mayonnaise jar.

Society values cooperation over independence, obedience over individuality, and niceness above all else.
Poise and indifference so often look the same.
