In Praise of Self-Deprecation

The buzzard has nothing to fault himself with.
Scruples are alien to the black panther.
Piranhas do not doubt the rightness of their actions.
The rattlesnake approves of himself without reservations.

The self-critical jackal does not exist.
The locust, alligator, trichina, horsefly
live as they live and are glad of it.

The killer whale’s heart weighs one hundred kilos
but in other respects it is light.

There is nothing more animal-like
than a clear conscience
on the third planet of the Sun.

”

- Wisława Szymborska

“The strongest predictors of rape myth acceptance [belief that women enjoy being raped] in regression analyses were attraction to violent sexuality, sexual conservatism, and thinking about sex less frequently.”

“Ironically, near the end of the war in Europe, the Japanese American GIs of the 442nd [Nisei Regimental Combat Team] broke through the German defensive “Gothic Line” in northern Italy, and were among the first to liberate the Nazi Concentration camp in Dachau, Germany. However, the U.S. military commanders decided it would be bad public relations if Jewish prisoners were freed by Japanese American soldiers whose own families were imprisoned in American concentration camps… the Japanese American soldiers who liberated Dachau were MIH - Missing in History”

Subway

Tue, 26 May 2009 22:48:35 -0400

Today, I went to subway with two friends. Dinner time - 6:00pm. Four people ahead of us, only one person working. 10 minutes later, its my turn

“We’re out of bread”

1. Why was there only one person working at dinner time?

2. Why did they run out of bread?

3. Why did he not notice he had less than four loaves left and not tell us 10 minutes earlier?

I don’t know.

“I’ve learned that no matter what happens, or how bad it seems today, life does go on, and it will be better tomorrow. I’ve learned that you can tell a lot about a person by the way he/she handles these three things: a rainy day, lost luggage, and tangled Christmas tree lights. I’ve learned that regardless of your relationship with your parents, you’ll miss them when they’re gone from your life. I’ve learned that making a “living” is not the same thing as making a “life.” I’ve learned that life sometimes gives you a second chance. I’ve learned that you shouldn’t go through life with a catcher’s mitt on both hands; you need to be able to throw something back. I’ve learned that whenever I decide something with an open heart, I usually make the right decision. I’ve learned that even when I have pains, I don’t have to be one. I’ve learned that every day you should reach out and touch someone. People love a warm hug, or just a friendly pat on the back. I’ve learned that I still have a lot to learn. I’ve learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.”
