John knows what he wants to do and does it. He can't always predict how
others might respond, but we cannot be responsible for everything. I
apologize. My only excuse is that I tend to paranoia. It is a result of
getting beat up a lot. Perspectives differ, in part, because experiences
differ and in part because temperaments and perceptual apparatuses
(apparati?) differ.
