"Ordinary ilani put up with that inside themselves if it's nothing huge and important, Keepers try to straighten it all out or at least that's the impression I get.  But even when you've straightened it out, your cognition is going to be all full of wanting things; from some helpful perspectives on viewing people, we more or less are complicated structures of wanting lots of things."

"It's when you're afraid of reaching particular conclusions about reality that your internal system is acting in a tangled way.  Ordinary ilani will resolve that once they get to the point of noticing it, definitely at the point they're experiencing internal stresses about it or trying not to look there, they increase over a lifetime the skill of trying to detect the feeling in general of that slight flinch towards or away from something.  More respectable and serious dath ilani than I am go hunting traces proactively, try to refine their perceptions early and strongly, in order to at least not make the sort of mistakes that other people can notice.  The Very Serious People have a saying, 'It's fine to be imperfect, just not so imperfect that other people notice.'"

"Keepers, presumably, keep a big store of techniques for doing that even better that the rest of us shouldn't know about.  And probably have machines for scanning their brains to detect really tiny mistakes and flinches, way before they'd be skilled enough to see them naturally... and go into those machines at age thirteen so they've still got youthful mind-shapability while retraining their brains to do more Lawful stuff than humans are really designed to do at all.  I'm guessing, there, but it's the sort of thing that ought to be true."
