So I am trying to explain the last blog entry to a friend, and it occurred to me that this friend is just too nice to understand.
Having a dark side means making unpopular choices and taking big risks. It's rejecting the conventional choices and mocking the assumptions.
The dark side is also all about being overly sensitive and seeing the danger of not questioning everything.
I have worked hard to cultivate my lifestyle. I value the abrupt starts and stops in almost every area of my life. By changing careers and romantic partners, I can decide for myself what is right and what is next.
For all the people I have stepped on or cast aside, I do apologize. However, for those who have kept up the intellectual and emotional ping-pong, the best is still ahead. We may not always agree, but in showing you my dark side, we are the best of friends.
