A long-time friend of mine, Andrew McLeod, wrote about being stubborn and refusing to conform, which he seems to never get tired of. I left this comment for him, which he’s likely to reject because he’d rather be different than be right, but perhaps the rest of you who read my blog might get something meaningful out of it:

I hope you realize some day the truth in these words.
