- me: you have only affirmed what I already knew. That everything is transient, what you have now can be taken away.
- emmanuel: well, in the light of this painful reality, we need to learn to live for ourselves and never for anyone else.
- me: yeah. If I had a cat, I would love it with all my heart.
- emmanuel: haha, me too.
- me: and when it stops loving me, I will let it starve to death.
- emmanuel: hahahahahahahahahahah
- I need to finish Meno and two chapter of Mill’s Utilitarianism by tonight
