#42Long long ago i and friends would smoke a ton of weed and write letters that we never send. They went something like... Dear sir, you must feel privilaged to receave a letter from someone as important and distingushed as me. It was well earned and deserved i assure you (which is the best kind of assurance) It of course pains me greatly to see my greatness overshadowed but there is joy in being reduced to an observer…

#43As someone who is coming to increasingly believe that 99% of the world problems are caused by powers seeking to intentionally divide us one from the other, I cannot tell you how much joy this brings me to see.

Continue - hold together (cum + tenere -- same root as contain)
Proceed - go forward (pro + cedere)

#48Hypothetically, if I had to violate someone's personal privacy like this, I think I'd be leaning toward doing it for someone I don't like. And even then, I would never.

If this was publicly available document so I could fill in the missing bits, I'd send a dozen of these tomorrow.
