8:40 AM: The Havisham Hour. Day/Page/Sketch 472 of 513 from Charles Dickens’ Great Expectations. --Self-contempt wrecks everything, turns people into ruins, causes decay. Unfortunately self-content is eternal, the more you try to diminish it the bigger it grows. It always comes back until it dies with you. It precedes your death actually, perhaps by only minutes, when it's too late to go back and live your entire life without fake, self-constructed hierarchies. -- Visit www.HavishamHour.com to learn more about this project, listen to previous podcasts and to get fine prints of the pages. ©2014 Julio Panisello.
