Be skeptical, but not as a social position, not claiming to be so intelligent that you cannot believe what other people say. it's not about being right and making everybody else wrong. no, you are skeptical because you know without a doubt that everybody lives in their own story, and in their story they have their own truth. but it's only truth in their mind, just as your truth is only truth in your mind, and nobody else's.

Even if you tell yourself "today i'm going to drink coffee the wrong way ... from a dirty boot." even that would be right, because you chose to drink coffee from that boot. because you can do nothing wrong. you are always right. even when you say, "i'm such an idiot, i'm so wrong..." you're right. you're right about being wrong. you're right even when you're an idiot. no matter how stupid your idea, you're doomed to be right because it's yours.

"i claim them all," said the savage at last.
