Living Is An Accomplishment

When I first started this moment of silence case, I found talking to the press rather daunting. In person, I tend to be pretty taciturn (or shy?) around people I don't know very well, and it has taken a deliberate act of will to improve in this area of my life -it's an example of the fact that virtue, by which I mean the act by which one gains the values necessary for living, is not automatic. But, when I gave this interview today, I realized how much better I've gotten at this since I started this case. I was even able to enjoy talking about it with the reporter.
