That was a cynical remark about what most people value. Personally, he is my hero and he is one of the few people I would die for.
Yes, it's extreme, but his integrity has touched me whether it is right or wrong it's for history to judge. What's more important to me is that he has chosen his path and that he has the integrity to stick to it.
What I was trying to say was that you can't fill a full glass. This man is too consumed by his work to get into another mental pathogen for a time long enough to commit a crime like this once, let alone twice. It's just too unlikely.
This is why most people won't understand him either and this is why this smear campaign will work. He is an outsider, an "other", trying to tell those sensible folks who "know" what's good for them that their most cherished beliefs might be null and void. Where do you think the pendulum will swing?
This is why I said that.
[edit: I just recalled that whenever I used to be under a lot of positive creative stress I didn't have the time to get into my suicidal thoughts. Those moments were like a barren, but safe and beautiful harbor for me.
He isn't like me, but the thing is that our brains can have only so much on consuming us running on our minds without a complete breakdown.]
