Really, sir, I think the primitives, like Democrats and liberals, are suspicious of unanticipated opportunities that arise, and so they reject them. This primitive's probably had many chances to make friends, but rejected them because she didn't plan for them to happen.
All has to be planned and controlled by the primitive; otherwise the primitive's not interested, or more likely scared.
Me, I make friends with the grace and elegance of a pig sliding on ice.
I can't possibly "inventory" all the friends, but it does seem to me that nearly all of these associations came about because of
random by-chance encounters rather than by plan--it runs the gamut from the
femme overhearing me talking with the neighbor's wife in a grocery aisle to the senior business partner by accident learning of my skills to a Russian kid hearing of an
Americanskiy thousands of miles away to a woman a stranger to me to whom I impulsively gave an antique clock to a woman who overheard my reference to the William Rivers Pitt to a guy who came here, drunk, in the middle of the night, catching me unawares.
It's a long roll-call, and nearly all of these were
random by-chance encounters.
Life is wonderful, life is great, when one just sits back and lets the world happen.
