Never mind, Age. I misread your reply. Don't worry so much about the rest of the world and who is guilty or responsible and who is not.
But, I am not 'worried' at all nor in the slightest at all.
Who are the actual ones who are what you call 'guilty' and who are actually responsible is blatantly obvious, and irrefutable I will add. End of story.

In the end, everything worked out the way it ought to.
Of course it 'did', and 'is'.
Absolutely every thing is, exactly, where it is 'meant to be', and PERFECTLY SO I will add.
I'm glad everything worked out "perfectly" for you. Everything basically fell apart with me after I had my first psychosis. Nothing is "perfect" from my perspective. But I probably deserve it.
No you don't mate. It's not your fault. Or anyone else's.

If it were a God who designed this world, I'd say benevolence is clearly not one of its attributes.

Life is lonely unless you're Noam Chomsky. He's on his second wife, and she's old enough to be his daughter. How does the guy do it?

He designed it as if He didn't. It shows no sign whatsoever of having been designed in any regard, it all looks entirely natural, He takes self denial to the extremest.

How does
she do it. Figure that out and be a doer.
She pleases Chompsky in ways for you to imagine, which you likely can since you reference him often. Perhaps she holds his hand and says,
“Poor thing. Poor, poor thing.”

Chomsky is a cult hero. Some women go for fame, some go for money, some just want a nice guy. Of the three, what’s your best option, keeping in mind consistency, and the fact that good looks are out the calculus.
Rather than claim the devil made you do it, consider that Insult followed by Remorse are masters seeking a slave to let them live, which is inconsistent with attraction to one of the three.
These days a baritone of the routine is acceptable at the library.

If you’re locked into a self-concept, or slave to a self-concept that makes you miserable, then the Buddha’s path of ending attachment takes precedence over ending suffering. When attachment ends, suffering ends. When attachment to the self-concept that makes you miserable ends, suffering ends. The self-concept doesn't end, but the attachment ends. There’s also fancy variations, such as attachment to misery being the source of … satisfaction.
First end attachment, and the end of suffering naturally, organically follows. It’s the physics of process, understood through experience and then explained through memory in relatable ways. But, the end of suffering must follow the end of attachment because if you manage to end suffering first, attachment is going to bring it right back because if folks don’t have any problems, attachment will find some for them.
How to end attachment? What do
you think in Gary’s corner? The end of misery may not be as satisfying as misery and if so, no need to change since the new misery that comes with attachment also requires the hassle of learning to swim again.

A biggie is attachment to desire. To feel desire objectively requires
non-attachment to desire.
Everyone has desires, and delusions. After all, we're human. Attachment to desire and delusion is the cause of suffering, and attachment is caused by assigning permanence to the transitory.
For example, an aspect of feeling the blues is, the feeling is going to last forever.
Even so, at times there simply are no words that will do. Not a single one.

Stanislavski –
An Actor Prepares, reveals the malleability of self-concept via self-observation that liberates spontaneity and authenticity, through another self-concept acting within the same medium (the body).
Whoever she is, she is the answer to Chomsky's dreams, and that's no accident whether intended by her, or intended by wu wei. Even though he's an ancient old fart, fame and cult status, perhaps wealth, make him the catch, not her.
If they make a movie about it, she should be played by the great actress Cate Blanchett.
Who would play Chomsky?

Henry Miller and Brenda Venus starred as themselves in their Movie of Life, and although Henry was the catch in that relationship, he would have likely disagreed because of his considerable blessing.

Not sure if I would call Henry Miller a "catch", other than the money and fame. Brenda looks more like the "catch" to me. She could probably have any man she wanted.

Hmm. The reasoning is quite simple, Gary.
Why would such a beauty desire Henry? Because, he was the catch and from what I've understood, also quite kind in person although savagely truthful with his prose.
