“You think too much!” “I was just going to tell you that I’m really willing to change. That’s one thing about me; I’ve always been open to change.” “That,” said Socrates, “is one of your biggest illusions. You’ve been willing to change clothes, hairstyles, women, apartments, and jobs. You are all too willing to change anything except yourself, but change you will. Either I help you open your eyes or time will, but time is not always gentle,” he said ominously. “Take your choice. But first realize that you’re in prison — then we can plot your escape.”
