Halfway to Nowhere

What I want and what I recommend, while not mutually exclusive, are sometimes not related. What I want is not always the best for others; what I recommend is not always a benefit to me. This isn't meant to be a revelation of my virtue, for I have no doubt I've failed this test in the past and may well do so in the future.

Ocassionally, though, events conspire show me just how small and cold is the comfort of intellectual honesty. So noted, but whatever, I'll take it, because it is, at least, real. The temptations to do otherwise promise comfort, but ultimately only leave one cold.
