How to Pack a Bag Properly

One can pack a bag in any way they so wish. They can pack it into something else or something into it, whatever they might understand to pack a bag to mean. I use it to be the latter, but even then one can pack it anyway they so choose. They can stuff it with tangerines and sheet music for all I care. But there is a way to properly pack it based on intent.

I dared to begin packing the night before. How punctual of me. To pack the night before you began to pack you must first set about analyzing your intentions and the ends of what it is you wish to pack. Once one does this it becomes quite easy to "pack the night before." Now, the average man packs all out of nonsense, just look here:

I intend on working. I should pack shorts and shirts and shoes and so on. Work requires protection of the body in case of accident. I want to avoid the possibility of getting hurt while working, so I take something that will lower the probability of it (e.g. close-toed shoes, a hard hat, long pants, etcetera).

The accident is an accidental quality. He begins saying his intent is work, but ends with intent to prevent accidents. Then he says he wishes to avoid the possibility of being hurt but ends by acting to reduce probability. No, no, no, this just won't do at all. We must say what we mean or shut up. Nothing can be done for such a man, for he speaks in jibberish, nothing more than a series of unconnected assertions. Now! --if he had said:

I intend on working. I should pack forearms and fists and tools and laborers and &c. in this bag. There is a possibility of getting hurt but one cannot avoid possibility, unless of course I bring some tool to make the possible impossible. If I cannot find my tool for this (it has been missing for some time) then I should put a damper on probability's relationship with possibility. Those two are inseparable (and have been for some time), but at least one might prevent probability from taking possibility out for a stroll in the park (at least for some time).

If a man had told me this I would much better understand him, applaud him for such excellent and consistent packing, compliment him on his ability to express his intent, and be slightly amused. Of course I can only know this is what "he" was trying to say because I am the man, and I know my intent. For others I'm stuck at the jibberish stage and can do nothing more for them but to look curious and smile from time to time as they talk.

Unpacking is an entirely different issue. But if one wishes to unpack like Mary Poppins, one would need only to cultivate probability and possibility's relationship, rather than wreck it.
