This comes from a VERY elementary teaching of Jesus in Matthew 5:44— “Love thine enemies.” Too long an explanation perhaps, to “unpack” in a brief analysis of dream content, but it’s there (at the heart of the matter.) tinyurl.com/matthew544 I can say for sure that when I boot up Windows 3.11 in Dosbox to relive some old memories, it feels like a giant weight has been lifted off my shoulders. Even with it's stability issues and rather awkward UI design,.I feel like I am once again back in control of everything, that nothing I don't know about is happening behind my back, and that I won't be blitzed with notifications or "Your experience will be better..." or all of the second guessing and unwanted overrides of modern operating systems.
