 Well, the thing is…

 …

that is a really important sentence and it fucks everything up , right?

it does, though,

because, no matter

   how much you try, and you try, and you try, and you try, and you  try, andyoutryandyoutryandyoutry, to do the good behaviors,

   how fucking ALERT! you are all THEFUCKINGTIIIIME, to be careful, to do the good behaviors,

not the bad,

   not the substances, not the thoughts, not the actions, not the vocations, not the mannerisms, not the food, not this person, no no no no no- the dangerous person, not the dangerous person nononononono- stay away from the dangerous person, have I done this before? is this a behavioristic Déjà-vous of bad choices?

the thing is,

even if you try,

taken as a given the nihilistic stand-point of “good” and “bad” being relative terms

you never really, never REALLY – REALLY, can be sure of the bad behaviors,which ONES ARE THE BAD BEHAVIORS, right? Usually, you can only know when it's too late. 

RETRO

 Also a life this guarded sounds extremely lame. Well, DON'T SEE ANY OTHER CHOICE TO BE HONEST.
