Hmm. Or close to the ideals of communism?
" To a baby, you are as much the baby as the baby is you. This recalls a
quote from Teddy about how when he was six he realized that Booper was God
and her milk was God and she was "just pouring God into God." Teddy's mind
has stayed in the oceanic state, not allowing things to "stop off" all of
the time. "
You're right. But Teddy is the most frightening boy in the world!
I notice your whole message is full of religious references. Maybe this is
the difference between you, Americans, and us, Europeans. The Pope says that
Europeans lead their life as if God doesn't exist.
However, I like your way of thinking. But it's not mine. Sometimes, I
don't like what I think...
