Language uses the word solitude to refer to the glory of being alone, 
and the word loneliness, 
to refer to the pain of being alone. - Anon.

This sums up how I did in law school.

what's the point of corporations?

The difference between an incidental humanitarian expenditure of corporate funds for the benefit of the employees, like the building of a hospital for their use and the employment of agencies for the betterment of their condition, and a general purpose and plan to benefit mankind at the expense of others, is obvious. There should be no confusion (of which there is evidence) of the duties which Mr. Ford conceives that he and the stockholders owe to the general public and the duties which in law he and his codirectors owe to protesting, minority stockholders. A business corporation is organized and carried on primarily for the profit of the stockholders. The powers of the directors are to be employed for that end. The discretion of directors is to be exercised in the choice of means to attain that end, and does not extend to a change in the end itself, to the reduction of profits, or to the nondistribution of profits among stockholders in order to devote them to other purposes. Dodge v. Ford, , 237 N.E. 2d. 776 (Ill.App. 1968)

David looked up and saw the Angel of the Lord standing between Heaven and Earth, with a drawn sword in his hand extending over Jerusalem. Then David and the elders, clothed in
sackcloth, fell face-down. 1 Chronicles 21: 16

For Thou hast commanded, and so it is, that every inordinate affection shall be its own punishment. Augustine, Confessions

Lord make me aware of the terrible acts of judgment that hang, as if suspended in air, waiting to be unleashed into the circumstances I find myself in. Please make me aware of the significance of those moments and make me aware of my place in the middle of it all. Help me connect effects with their causes. Help me see that it's my sin that has returned to punish me, so that I know I need to turn, and what I need to turn from.
