"This diary is my kief, hashish, and opium pipe. This is my drug and my vice."

When posing questions either to yourself and others be aware of how questions are to be asked and answered, also be aware of interpretation of answers.

The Buddha-Lord Makhimsih divided questions into four classes:
1.Those that deserve a categorical (yes or no answer).
2.Those that deserve an analytical answer, defining and qualifying the terms of the question.
3.Those that deserve a counter question, putting the ball back in the questioner's court.
4.Those that deserve to be put aside.

Further he also said that there are two types of people who misrepresent him.
1. Those who draw inferences from statements that shouldn't have inferences drawn from them.
2.Those who don't draw inferences from those that should.
