"Decide that you like college life. In your dorm you meet many nice people. Some are smarter than you. And some, you notice, are dumber than you. You will continue, unfortunately, to view the world in exactly these terms for the rest of your life." – How To Become A Writer by Lorrie Moore

Inevitably, I developed a new philosophy for humankind in general: adults were just big kids, and kids were just little adults. They had different toys in their disposal, and they got by with what they had. Those with too many toys are bound to get cocky, and those with too little have to work harder to get them. It's all on principle. It also depends on the crowd.

I guess friendship is like a double-edged sword in a way—on one side there is happiness and joy, on the other sorrow and stupid mistakes…

I'm merely a silent Sheherezade who can't move anyone's heart.
No matter how many nights pass, I can't talk about even one love.
I couldn't even get used to warmth. Where did the bedtime story disappear to?
I wanted to at least remember your gentle words.

It was once said by psychologist Alfred Alder that humans “aren’t the bravest of creatures.” They don’t want to face their fears; so instead, they hide from them, wishing that they would go away within time. They blame others for their mistakes, so those who were blamed would face it for them, out for the others’ cowardice. After all, things change after a period of time. But not always.

This is shown very well in the play “The Rimers of Eldritch”, which was written by the playwright Lanford Wilson. He wrote this play in a time where many were experimenting with what they would do with plays and how they were presented. He plays heavily with the concept of human nature, saying that not all people are how they appear to be. And it is the challenge for the actors to be able to portray this in the way Lanford Wilson intended, even though we may never know what Wilson’s intentions really were.
