I realize #37

Whenever you try to convince others what you are really doing is trying to convince yourself. The more you get offended, raise your voice, assume an indignant stance and fume out of your ears, the more you can be sure that you are afraid of seeing that your cover's blown, that you are in fact lying to yourself, that you are afraid of the notion that there is no one truth, and you become desperate to convince and reassure yourself about that, because what you observe as 'yourself' depends upon it for its existence.
