| For all the hours of thought I have given, learning how to behave, I'm still satisfied with the Golden Rule. My pastimes are pretty milquetoast, in all fairness.

Try to remember a time when you got violently sick and were hunched over the toilet bowl, thinking you were going to die, or worried that you weren't going to die so your misery would end.
