We are pirates, are we not?

Explain to me this unexamined life, this life lived without pause to contemplate consequences. Perhaps my own life has been over-examined and may very well prove to be the truth. But tell me, as my friend and confidante, how can you watch those around you carousing and falling drunkenly from this ship without questioning why these things happen? We are pirates, are we not? Let us tend to our wounds.
