The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from Fantastic Fables by Ambrose Bierce: but have remained in bed in the hope of gaining by repose the

The Overlooked Factor

fell in love with his washerwoman, married her, and reared a family
of dolts.

but chosen a mate for myself with half the care that I did for my
Dog I should now be a proud and happy father."
