Indeed it was an interesting consideration. And it provoked interesting answers.
In Lila, Pirsig had much criticism for abstract others (professors) and those
close to him (Lila, Rigel). So let not your heart be troubled. It's human nature
to judge. So long as you sleep well at night knowing you've done your best, well,
for me that's as good as it gets.
