I look back to my entry dated October 26th and I see that Epicurus' words are cold comfort in times of loss. Perhaps better ones are these: If thou wilt make a man happy, add not unto his riches but take away from his desires.
To have is to know that we will lose with time, and time does not consult with creatures such as we to determine when we would allow loss.
My request of you, City, remains what it has been for the time I have been here, tell me of yourselves that I may warm myself in the lives of others.
