Paris

I think if you look at my blog dear blog reader you will see that I get a lot of mileage out of the quotation associated with Nietzsche that “we must take care when pursuing monsters, not to become monsters ourselves.”

And in the light of the Paris attacks and the ongoing culture wars over immigration and Syrian refugees, you might think that we are becoming monsters.

Another quotation/idea that resonates with me is that we show our character in times of crisis.

So if you listen closely and you read between the lines, you will know that freedom of religion, charity, and diversity are great when things are going swimmingly but insert crisis and then watch what happens.

Equality goes out the window.

Which devotees does god love the most? Christians, Muslims…

Some Say

Some say “it is what it is” and never, not once, wonder when something wouldn’t be what it is. Strange. 

Some say “rock-n-roll ain’t noise pollution” but never rail against leaf blowers. Do they think leaf blowers are rock-n-roll? Strange.

Some say “what doesn’t kill me, makes me stronger” but never think that what does kill them, by comparative-superlative logic, makes them strongest. Strange.

Some say “if is the biggest word in the dictionary” but would never use it in a scrabble game. Strange.

Some say “love, it is a river” but what good would that do, especially when the levee breaks. Strange.

You say, “I talk so all the time” but I really just want you to shut up.
