" It isn't about winning or losing. It isn't even about truth or lies, since your point was premised on an embellished story about standing up to Margarita, when all you really did was call out a factual error in her ethnic slurring. The point was about *doing* and *being*, making the little butterfly ripple than would eventually cause a tornado somewhere on the other side of the ocean, or at least a little chatter on the other side of the baseball field at Crosby High School. It's almost better that it was all based on a lie, because it makes you realize you can go back and revise your own history, and isn't that almost as good as making your own future, being able to invent your own past as well?
