What I have learned from Cigarettes
Dec 16, 2006
Any attempt to make amends with someone, even for a wrong that only the amends-maker thinks exists, will either begin to convince the other party that everything is actually much worse than it is (else why make amends?) or confirm that party in h/h suspicions, and foster much resentment and misunderstanding etc etc etc.

Is it coherent to speak of having learned that P, where P is bollocks? Revised post: No thanks to Cigarettes, I assume to be true the following bollocks etc. etc.
