During a conversation or a debate or a lecture or even a television show, it comes down to the “final thoughts.” Everyone shares their final thoughts.
The beloved’s final thought is a test of “alacrity” through playing games despite her age and experience. And mine is to demonstrate the “alacrity.” But the games and the test are more painful to endure than it actually appears to the beloved. And I wouldn’t want to wish the pain on anyone else, despite their sheer evil.
