An Old Adage

It is said that life is 10% of what happens to us, and 90% how we react to it.

I would argue that the 90% is broken into another 90-10 split: what happens to the people we care about and how they react to it. And again and again, ad infinitum.

Ergo, we are all interconnected, and hopefully for the better. However, in a setup such as this it is remarkably easy to hurt each other -- especially unintentionally.

Don't try to look so wise
Don't cry 'cause you're so alright
Don't dry with fakes or fears
Cause you will hate yourself in the end.

Question of the Day:
When is it appropriate to apologize for one's own existance? And how does one perform such an act?

[And yes, I do want answers]

(no subject)

Thanks all for your answers to my question of the day. I appreciate the time and effort you put into your answers.

Yes, I ask stupid questions. Thank you for not giving me stupid answers.

Lesson Learned:

People are hazardous to one's self-image and health.

If I have work, I don't care to know it

It has come to my mind that no question on opinion can be satisfactorily answered.

"Yes" implies a certain unthinking devotion to an opinion. "No" shows a knee-jerk rejection. Any longer answer is bound to miss the subtleties of the underlying opinion.

I have learned much about faboo's computer usage today, and why he uses Ion as his window manager.

Oh, and my I please inform Rochester that Sunday is just another day of the week and that (g/G)od(s) would rather they are open for business to increase the joy.

Farking hell.
