Do you mind?
“By the way, did people
actually tell you they were happy you failed?” I asked Terry.
“No, but I could tell what
they were thinking,” he said with absolute certainty.
“Read minds, do you?”
“No, but I know what
I’d think.”
“And through some Jedi
mind trick, you can project your thoughts onto them? You make them think what you’d think?”
He laughed. “OK, maybe
I don’t know what all of them were thinking, but I least a few people were
happy I went to jail.”
“I’ll admit you’re
probably right about a few them,” I said, “If you’ll admit you have no power to
read minds or project your thoughts onto other people. Once you do that, you’ll find you won’t make
yourself miserable based on what you suspect other people think.”
“Deal,” he said.
Today I will accept I
don’t read minds, and I’m not a Jedi knight.
