Although I understand some things intellectually, I still find myself surprised by them in practice. I have a friend who is a combination of deep cynicism and rank sentimentality. (And no, this is not a cover for me; this is someone else.) Because he is an emotional moralist at heart, fixated on the betrayal of the innocent, he combines a bleak worldview with a capacity to weep over children's movies.
As I say, I get it, mentally, but when I meet it in the flesh, I am always surprised.
