My last posts have really been quite verbose, so for this entry I’m going a little bit more (relatively) terse.
I’m really a man that almost always seems to have an overactive conscience. Blame it on my Catholic sensibilities, I don’t know. So when something mildly unjust happens to someone I know where I’m on a more favourable end through no action of my own doing, I was feeling kind of bad. Then I harken back to a time years ago when in a similar situation the person in question was greedy and knowingly deceived someone to my detriment. This person did not have my back. So, after rationalizing things that way, I’m suddenly free of guilt. Such is life.

Okay, terse yes. A bit grandiose, definitely. Well, grandiose might not be the right word, but let’s examine the word choices for this entry:
1. Verbose
2. Terse
3. Harken
4. Detriment
Yes. That’s four grade 10 vocabulary words in an eight sentence post. Well done. You get an A!
(And yes, I’m kind of mocking you. But in a loving way!)

It’s weird. Sometimes when I get pissy I get all magniloquent (that’s a good word–seriously).
