13 Be certain instead.
14 About everything.
15 If you have a whim, cast it in the concrete of certainty,
16 And stop second-guessing yourself.
17 It's your whim, after all,
18 And if you can't be certain about your own whims,
19 What can you be certain about?
CHAPTER 141 I'm sure that some of you are still dubious,
2 And probably thinking that the Way of Harry is fraught with peril,
3 aBecause you think they'll stop you from satisfying your desires,
4 bAnd they'll punish you for your certainty,
5 And life will get harder instead of easier,
6 But that's because you've already forgotten about the third part of Harry's Trinity,
7 Which is the most important part,
8 cAnd is called Blame.
9 For blame is the best friend you can ever have,
10 Certainly better than any of them,
11 And if we can be honest, better than each other,
12 Because we all know that we don't really like each other that much,
13 No matter how much we sort of wish we did.
14 Blame is so powerful and great that it is almost a way unto itself.
15 Blame is the slayer of guilt,
16 The enemy of introspection,

17 The destroyer of doubt,
18 And the ultimate weapon of all the oppressed Others everywhere.
CHAPTER 151 When you're not satisfied.
2 dFind someone or something to blame.
3 ePoint the finger of blame with certainty,
4 And demand that your desires be met.
5 If your fparents don't accede to your desires,
6 Blame them for raising you to be a second-class citizen.
7 If your gsuitors don't knuckle under,
8 Blame them for treating you like a sex object.
9 If your hemployers don't give you what you desire,
10 Blame them for maintaining a viciously sexist double standard.
11 If society doesn't conform itself precisely to your desires,
12 Blame society for everything in your life that irritates you,
13 And make your demands for compensation with absolute certainty,
14 And never ever relent,
15 Or "listen to reason,"
16 Or "accept reality,"
17 Or "think about the progress you've made,"
18 Or pay attention to any of their lies,
19 Because no matter what anyone says,
20 iBlind unthinking hatred is the most fun you can have on earth,
21 Sex included,
22 And don't you forget it.
