Don't use me.

"Why not use her, wasn't it always about finding uses for the people in your life, why would they be in your life if you had no use for them, and if you're using them, didn't that lend purpose to their lives, you're actually doing them a trickle-down favor, aren't you, allowing them to use you to feel themselves useful, and that's something, isn't it, better than nothing anyway, than being useless or used up." --John Edgar Wideman, What We Cannot Speak About We Must Pass Over in Silence
