The emotional impact of a large group doing something collectively to help a single person. Beautiful.
Do you ever drive down the highway at night and wonder what the ratio of sober to drunk people is at that moment?
I think there might be a disconnect between our expectation for punctuality (especially for work) and our punishment for speeding on the highway. It's like our society is set up against human nature (we make mistakes, we aren't machines).
Predictable patterns. Why is the Earth full of predictable patterns?
Maybe we are the aliens that will contact future generations of life on other planets? Hmm.
“We are all dying to give our lives away to something, maybe. God or Satan, politics or grammar, topology or philately – the object seemed incidental to this will to give ourselves away, utterly. To games or needles, to some other person. Something pathetic about it. A flight-from in the form of a plunging-into. Flight from exactly what? These rooms, blandly filled with excrement and heat? To what purpose?” – David Foster Wallace
Is a hypocrite who informs/educates/creates awareness about important issues for non-hypocrites really a bad thing?
There are only so many battles a single person can fight at once. Only so many causes you can attribute your time and energy and support to.
Are you spreading hate and negativity, or love and a positive attitude? Check yo' self!
“Hello babies. Welcome to Earth. It’s hot in the summer and cold in the winter. It’s round and wet and crowded. On the outside, babies, you’ve got a hundred years here. There’s only one rule that I know of, babies—’God damn it, you’ve got to be kind.'” – Kurt Vonnegut
Pressing warm towels to my face fresh out of the dryer! Mmm hmmmm!
Getting ready to do another "Book Lottery." Thinking about something to do with Japanese culture, or maybe I'll just finish reading my philosophy book. Hmm. Decisions.
"Un libro abierto es un cerebro que habla; cerrado, un amigo que espera; olvidado, un alma que perdona; destruido, un corazón que llora."
"We dug the seeds their graves,
buried them in the dirt
and let them take root in the Earth
only to be reborn over and over and over again." - Me
There's a goldmine of word combinations yet to be introduced into the world.
The way books get readers (when they WANT to read) interested in other subjects.
“The most merciful thing in the world, I think, is the inability of the human mind to correlate all its contents. We live on a placid island of ignorance in the midst of black seas of infinity, and it was not meant that we should voyage far. The sciences, each straining in its own direction, have hitherto harmed us little; but some day the piecing together of dissociated knowledge will open up such terrifying vistas of reality, and of our frightful position therein, that we shall either go mad from the revelation or flee from the light into the peace and safety of a new dark age.” – H.P. Lovecraft
Mountains tomorrow!!! ^_^
