Judgment is fun. Comparison is good. They’re illusory games where I size up values, trading pros and cons like chips or tokens. But when I forget they’re games, they become obsessive tyrants. I wasn’t born so I could chase after “perfect.” I walk this earth so I can enjoy the unfolding of time and space.…
