LET ME SNEEZE YOU HEALTHY ! <| sep |> Looks great . I ' ve been thinking of doing something similar with my 1950 s Motorola record player to house our LPs and board games . I believe I ' ve found my inspiration . <| sep |> Such double standard . Much hypocrisy . <| sep |> Was that old site one of the largest sites in the world , where presidents and presidentelects would post ? <| sep |> Lol . No one makes anyone do that here . Many Thanksgivings end up in political fights or getting food comas while trying to watch football games . <| sep |> What happens but once , might as well not have happened at all . This notion is taken up at some length in The Unbearable Lightness of Being in fact that notion that nonrecurrence implies insignificance is what would be unbearable . Also the idea runs along in the remake of Battlestar GalacticaIt wouldn ' t have occurred to me to apply that idea of Eternal Recurrence ER in The Trial . The comparisons to Alice , or Meursault , or , for me , Winston Smith are almost reflexive tho I didn ' t think of Alice til this post . When I look at the Trial , even the repetitions you ' ve pointed out , the idea doesn ' t resonate to me , but I think it ' s worth pursuing and I ' ll keep it in mind during rereading . The very last sentence , in Wylie , is Like a dog ! he said , it was as if the shame of it should outlive him . How do they have it in yours ? ' Wie ein Hund ! ' sagte er , es war , als sollte die Scham ihn berleben . So that refers to a persistence that seems to be consistent with ER . Kafka wrote the last chapter right after the first ones , so I think we take those last few paragraphs as a strong indication of his intent and his intent as a useful clue to a good reading .
