My Story (and I’m sticking to it)

I sometimes can’t remember what I did yesterday, much less a week ago. Somebody in a crosswalk walked in front of me as I was driving- what was he wearing? What did I eat for lunch? Where did I lay my glasses? I don’t consider myself stupid, but why can’t I remember?

People are overly optimistic about the accuracy of their retrieved memories, probably because most errors have little practical consequence and go unnoticed. Given the confidence in their own memory accuracy, people have too much faith in the accuracy of eyewitnesses. Memory has a multitude of quirks and inaccuracies that creep into its everyday operation.
Quotation from Marc Green, Phd, Eyewitness Memory is Unreliable

It’s Right Under Your Nose

It’s Right Under Your Nose

I’ve added some new widgets to Encore Seraphine, including a Search function and a Tag Cloud. I hope you like the changes and decide to try them. The current publication pace of a new comic roughly every other day is working great for me. In about a week, I’ll be presenting my 700th comic. Thank you for your encouragement and wonderful comments.

We live in an age disturbed, confused, bewildered, afraid of its own forces, in search not merely of its road but even of its direction. There are many voices of counsel, but few voices of vision; there is much excitement and feverish activity, but little concert of thoughtful purpose… It is our duty to find ourselves.
Quotation from Woodrow Wilson, 1907

Proof That Forever Exists

Proof That Forever Exists

It is said parallel lines, stretching towards infinity, eventually touch.

Gravitational Time Dilation (Wikipedia)

And you run and you run to catch up with the sun, but its sinking
And racing around to come up behind you again.
The sun is the same in the relative way, but you’re older
Shorter of breath and one day closer to death.
Lyrics from Pink Floyd, Time

They spoil every romance by trying to make it last forever.
Quotation from Oscar Wilde

Laughter has no Need of Proof

Laughter has no Need of Proof

“It took me a long time and most of the world to learn what I know about love and fate and the choices we make, but the heart of it came to me in an instant, while I was chained to a wall and being tortured. I realized, somehow, through the screaming in my mind, and even in that shackled, bloody helplessness, I was still free: free to hate the men who were torturing me, or to forgive them. It doesn’t sound like much, I know. But in the flinch and bite of the chain, when it’s all you’ve got, that freedom is a universe of possibility. And the choice you make, between hating and forgiving, can become the story of your life.”
Quotation from Gregory David Roberts, Shantaram (It’s the opening paragraph of the book)
