“It is absurd to divide people into good and bad. People are either charming or tedious.” Oscar Wilde
Fair enough. I fall into the latter category as you may have obviously realised. Mind you, so do most people. Thinking about it, so do the people who try to be charming fall into the tedious category. Are there any truly charming people? Are all people simply tedious? Hmmm….
“Laziness is nothing more than the habit of resting before you are tired.” Jules Renard
Perhaps laziness is actually a well thought out plan. If you rest before you get tired, you do not get tired which means you have the energy to do what you want to do. Genius!
“Rock journalism is people who can’t write interviewing people who can’t talk for people who can’t read.” Frank Zappa
Ha! He said it first! Makes me feel so much better for not appreciating “rock journalism“!
“We must not allow ourselves to become like the system we oppose.” Bishop Desmond Tutu
He does have a point. How many times do we do something in the name of fairness or equality or for the best, yet by our own actions we are falling into the same trap?
Good examples include
“Justice without force is powerless; force without justice is tyrannical.” Blaise Pascal
But it still does not explain justice!!
I think perhaps that Justice is Fairness that is controlled; but then again is it fair that it is controlled?
“Writing is the most fun you can have by yourself!” Terry Pratchett
I am not sure that I agree, but my partner is sure glad that that is what Pratchett thinks. Besides which, makes my life easier as come Christmas I always have my partner’s stocking present chosen. Pratchett’s latest book of course!
“The most wasted of all? days is one without laughter”. E E. Cummings
That is so true. Laughter is after all the best medicine. Yet if you smile at a stranger, they are most likely to scowl at you as though you are throwing daggers at them. Yet a simple smile can lift that heavy feeling and make the world feel a better place. Smiling is tantamount to the sun shining upon you.
Go on, I know it has been a while since you smiled, but stretch your mouth so it spreads across your face. That’s it… you are doing it!! :) Doesn’t that feel good?
