I just watched a couple of minutes of a “60 Minutes” program, where they interviewed Bill O’Reilley (or however in Hel it’s spelled). And even though the interviewer was so critical as to almost be refered to as “hostile”, and in spite of O’Reilley’s obvious vanity and arrogance, the interview managed to create some sympathy in me for the guy.

Mmm, it feels good to discover some redeeming facet or other about the personality of someone you for some reason dislike. It’s like seeing them as humans for the first time, rather than just as caricatured characters.

It’s a tiny epiphany, and I can’t remember having one as strong as this one since I decided to cast off my irrational dislike for George W. Bush, if I ever did.

My head feels clearer than it’s been in at least a month, so I think I’ll take a walk now, then try to utilize this clearity in my work on the term paper that’s due for next Friday. (And seeing as the DnD session I had scheduled for tonight was cancelled, I’ll have time to work on that until late this evening.)
