Normal

There are some oddities in the perspective with which we see the world.

The fact that we live at the bottom of a deep gravity well, on the surface of a gas-covered planet going around a nuclear fireball 90 million miles away and think this to be normal is obviously some indication of how skewed our perspective tends to be, but we have done various things over intellectual history to slowly correct some of our misapprehensions.

I'm still feeling foul and filthy today, but not downhearted. I am a nice man with dirty things inside of me. I have resolved to call my doctor first thing on Monday morning.

I am ill. It is normal. Six weeks of it. It bores me.
