Wrong About Everything
I was a different person then. I thought you would want to know that. Mostly this means there are things I know now that I didn't know then. On the other hand, there are things I knew then that I don't know now. My main difficulty here is that I can't really determine exactly what it is that I did and didn't know, then and now. I guess that's the way it should be. It's the surrendering on this point that keeps me from preemptively editing myself in the desire to avoid getting it wrong or proceeding with a compulsive desire to get it right. Sometimes I think it would be great for my headstone to read, "He Was Wrong About Everything." With the implication that I was wrong about that too.
