Living in the past is not onwardly a good default. |

(At first I wanted to say "Living in the past seldom is a good default." |
| 26 |
--- but the usage of "seldom" and the idea of using "seldomly" gave me |
| 27 |
to think, and it seems that "seldom" can mean something like "not |
| 28 |
onwardly". And I don't know whether it should be "Living in the past is |
| 29 |
seldom a good default." --- which even I notice could be considered as |
| 30 |
rather unfriendly by native English speakers --- or "... seldom is ...". |
| 31 |
However, "not onwardly" might create an interesting tautology here, so |
| 32 |
it has it's merits.) |

Again we must be afraid of speaking of daemons for fear that daemons |
| 37 |
might swallow us. Finally, this fear has become reasonable. |
