• It will be as it needs to be. As Nature requires of it.
• There’s no wrong way to write.
• We’re so engrained and trained to see right and wrong (good or bad).

• Don’t extrapolate.
• In 1000 years, we’ll be seen as how we view people from 100 AD. And so on, ∞. We saw them as barbaric, unintelligent, old. But they weren’t all that different from us. And 1000 years from now, they’ll be having similar problems to us now, but on a galactic scale.
• As long as I do my best, everything else will fall into place. I will be kind to myself in the face of adversity. There is only so much under my control.
