Nor long summer bide so late;

There is such a thing as righteous judgment, but it seems that lately the word 'judgment' has become a curse word, period. The issue isn't whether or not we're insightful enough to avoid being judgmental, but whether or not we're secure enough to accept being judged.

I feel as if one would only discover on one's death-bed what one ought to have lived for, and realise too late that one's life has been wasted.

And so irony creeps into the very springs of one's being. — Bertrand Russell
