At the evident risk of seeming ridiculous, i want to begin by saying that i have tried for much of my life to write as if i was composing my sentences to be read posthumously. i hope this isn't too melodramatic or self-centred a way of saying that i attempt to write as if i did not care what reviewers said, what peers thought, or what prevailing opinions may be.

Writing Composing Sentences
And then the spirit brings hope, hope in the strictest christian sense, hope which is hoping against hope. for an immediate hope exists in every person; it may be more powerfully alive in one person than in another; but in death every hope of this kind dies and turns into hopelessness. into this night of hopelessness (it is death that we are describing) comes the life-giving spirit and brings hope, the hope of eternity. it is against hope, for there was no longer any hope for that merely natural hope; this hope is therefore a hope contrary to hope.

I didn't want to teach my kid how to read, so i used to read to him at night and close the book at the most interesting part. he said, “what happened then, daddy?” i said, “if you learn to read, you can find out. i'm too tired to read. i'll read to you tomorrow.” so, he had a need to want to learn how to read. don't teach children how to read. don't teach them mathematics. give them a reason to want it. in school, they're working ass-backwards.
