A Long Protracted SMS

Last week, one of my friends sent me a message on my mobile. Ironically, he used the short messaging service to send a pretty long message. Enough of the pronoun 'he'; I will name him 'Mr.Globe' - that would suit him better. 'Globe' because, he talks about anything and everything under the sun with consummate ease - ranging from Tamil Cinema, English Fiction and non-fiction, Electronics and Communication, Quantum Physics, Economics, Commerce, Cricket, Football, F1, NBA, NFL, C Programming - you name it, this guy has got an opinion on it.

Mr.Globe is known for doing things differently. That night Mr.Globe called me up and said he was trying to come upwith a good message that he could forward to others. My curiousity got the better of me and I asked him to forward the message to me also, knowing that it would be something beyond me!! Here it is -

SMS1: Why do people go to the extremes to prove that they are innocent not knowing that even those who challenge their innocence on the outside but think they are truly innocent even though they really are not are not(sic) right not because of the inconsistency in their thoughts and claims but because of their inability to understand the truth... Dont they understand that the moment they start proving their innocence, they actually start loosing it or tell (Contd..)

SMS2: (Contd..) us that they never really have been since their pride of being innocent has come from their way of veiwing innocence as a virtue which actually depends upon one's vaue system.. Dont u think the thin line between being naive and innocent is actually drawn by the mind which in any case is nothing but what we have developed to differentiate and distinguish rather than live with.. I think I wish to forget what innocence actually (Contd..)

SMS3: (Contd..) means.. Infact I think I wish to forget everything.. That i still live..

I am finished. Even to re-type this message is tiring. Wonder how long it took for 'Globe' to create this. I sat with this message - with so many subjects and predicates - throughout the night but couldnt go beyond some distance.

If anyone can decipher the whole message, (the probability of which I feel is, as much as that of India winning a Football WC), then please do me a favour by shouting it out in the Comments corner.
