    The notion that "pure judgments" of situations can exist is a stretch. Personal judgments will always cloud reality. The illusion is in the "rational" approach not just being another personal judgment.

And I agree with you there, by the way. Like I said elsewhere when quoting Marcus Aurelius . . .

    I don't agree with that whole statement, because I think it leaves room for people to be tempted by their own egos and idle fancies
