Humpty Dumpty is, without doubt, a very wise individual. As are we all. Although, I think, Humpty Dumpty might have added "and I reserve the right, without prejudice to anything I may have said, before, to change the definition of any given word, dependent upon the context"!<br /><br />MattRadagasthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14286529284742690239noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30682564.post-27439039185320697332009-05-14T09:06:00.000+00:002009-05-14T09:06:00.000+00:00I once read a book that described reasoning very s...I once read a book that described reasoning very similar to that of the judge in the Singh case.<br /><br />"When <EM>I</EM> use a word," Humpty Dumpty said in rather a scornful tone, "it means just what I choose it to mean—neither more nor less."<br />—<EM>Through the Looking-glass</EM>Douglas J.

But a person who follows that pattern of behaviour deliberately, because they feel powerful watching somebody else in discomfort, is a psychopath, by my understanding of that word.<br /><br />Hmmmm. Where was I going with this comment? Oh, yes! One is always in control of one's own actions - one chooses how one responds to certain stimuli (including what other people say and do to one). Blaming others (especially demons!), after the event because one made the wrong choice is, well, the sort of thing one might expect of a frightened child, anticipating punishment.<br /><br />MattRadagasthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14286529284742690239noreply@blogger.com
