Aphoristic Apathy
Normally I post every saturday but I was too lazy to write up a real post this week, so I have substituted substance with a handful of aphorisms. The first is a rerun.
_____________________________________________
There are people the world over whom, if you knew them, you would love, and having loved them you would pay dearly to see their lives bettered.
That we may never meet them does not change anything.
_____________________________________________
History is a plaything for the agendas of the present. Do not accept its assertions without skepticism.
_____________________________________________
American aid to Palestine (when there was such a thing) is like handing someone a band-aid after you pay your friend to kick them in the testicles.
_____________________________________________
When a child spits in your face, do not hate the child, hate whatever confluence of events conspired to raise a child who would spit in your face.
_____________________________________________
Any political office of consequence should come with an instructions manual.
_____________________________________________
Whoever writes the instructions manuals for political offices of consequence will control the world.
_____________________________________________
Aphorisms are like a three-legged dog: they're lame. :-P

Your cat can see your face and hear your voice, but she doesn't know you're you until she smells you. Just as your cat filters all experience through her sense of smell, we humans filter all experience through our sense of the abstract: simile, metaphor, symbol, story. The cat knows nothing for what it is, only for how it smells. We know nothing for what it is, only for how it is like or unlike something else.
When you know where you want to go, but don't know how to get there don't worry about it. just pick a direction and go, it may lead the wrong way but at least you're moving.
