I keep thinking about women. Lord, since you are listening, please help me. No, not in a "bad" way. My thoughts concerning women could be seen in a bad light, but they are natural and even good thoughts. Making a woman honest is not about sex before marriage, and then marriage to make it right. Making a woman honest is marrying her so that she may be right with her thoughts and yearnings (works both ways, but tradition focuses on women for... many reasons). Blathering. Anyway, as I said, women have been on my mind. There is always the chance I might still be able to help produce, feed, raise, and send forth a couple or more new humans. This, of course, requires women though in the singular tends to work better. And, so, like any intention, thought is needed. Thankfully or not, I need no such incentive. As vile as women are or can be, they are unmistakably attractive, utilitarian, and are or can be as good too. In the dishonest way the more attractive in some ways, which is settled by marriage? Gakh! Never mind.

I saw an article suggesting that traumatic events might be erased from memory. This, it is supposed, will fix that dread disease. For my part, I know it will not work. I know because some of my issues are not remembered. What ends up happening is these sensations come to the sufferer, who has no memory, out of context. As well, there is the possibility that, with these sensations, the mind will create memories so as to make sense of the sensations. Either that or I have forgotten less than I think. As well, even if memories may be banished, that is only one part of the effects of trauma. Things which cause serious turmoil, pain responses, and such, are stored not just in memory but in a gland or part of the brain that is still little understood. Reactions come from that even if there is no memory to go with it. The brain was well geared to keep us alive, even if memory fails... short or long term. This would not heal but would create a horrid life of shadow and pain for any who suffered disastrously and then had their memory erased. The only way to begin healing is a lot of talking with someone who can handle hearing about things, real things, most people might not even have heard of or thought possible. A claymore does things to bodies most simply cannot imagine and Hollywood has not really even tried to show, for example. I hope they do not experiment with this on troops. It is very easy, during some stages of suffering, to wish to simply forget. The easy road will not end up being half so easy as the "hard path". Try it on Obama when he fails and is castigated to the fringes of history and society. With a sociopath, I do not think it can actually do any harm. But then send him back to Kenya or wherever will take him. Cuba? NK? Sure, he will not know or care, mostly.

I did not make it to town to buy a siphon for gas yet. I need to get to sleep and try to be in to town and back before the big storm hits. I ought to buy a little more food while I am at it, at least milk. We will see.

Good night.
