you cannot see what i see because you see what you see. you cannot know what i know because you know what you know. what i see and what i know cannot be added to what you see and what you know because they are not of the same kind. neither can it replace what you see and what you know, because that would be to replace you yourself.

here’s a prayer for you: protect me from knowing what i don’t need to know. protect me from even knowing that there are things to know that i don’t know. protect me from knowing that i decided not to know about the things that i decided not to know about. amen.

there’s another prayer that goes with it that’s very important, so you’d better jot this down, too: ‘Lord, lord, lord…’ it’s best to put that bit in, just in case. you can never be too sure. ‘Lord, lord, lord. protect me from the consequences of the above prayer. amen.’
