The probability that a number of deaths be experienced in close proximity to alcohol is obvious and elementary. Gilbert laughs again and stubs out his roach. His eyes are droopy and he now looks half there and half somewhere else. Perhaps he was thinking about people drinking alcohol. The man continues to sip his beer, perhaps with an intent to pillage his thoughts further. Though Gilbert looks over and starts talking about a woman at his workplace and how his opinion of her had changed and how that often happens with Gilbert. He says he think that he judges people too much in order to make sense of his position in their eyes, and that these judgments, though true and accurate at the time, were actually defensive tactics in order to avoid using aggression and born also from insecurity. In particular, the story was about a woman who had been treating him with little respect, it was in her tone of voice, he said, it was in the way she interacted with him and all those around him in fact.
