"What I want to say is this: - If you logically try to persuade a person that there is no absolute reason for shedding tears, the person in question will cease weeping. That's self evident. Why, I should like to know, should such a person continue doing so?"

"If such were the usual course of things, life would be a very easy matter," replied Raskolnikoff.

This is me, flailing.

I'm loving.
I want to be loved.
I'm considerate.
I want to be considered.
I am thoughtful.
I want to be thought of.
I'm happy.
I want to share that happiness.
I've been bad, but I think my badness can be overlooked.
And when I'm good, I like to think that I'm quite delectable.

I have been pursuing for quite some time. I shall pursue no further. I want to believe that I am worthy and deserving of being pursued myself. This belief is not mine to subscribe to.
