Ten Random Quotes #6

1. Never take quietness as naivete. Some of the deepest people keep their mouths shut, because their mind is doing the talking.

2. Life isn't about being enough, it's about being.

3. Weakness is not something to be ashamed of or put on the scale of good or bad. It just means you need empowering help. 

4. Bullies hitting a real low point in Life later is predictable because the fact they were bullies means they were too focused on looking for the worse in others rather than bettering themselves. 

5. Courage the Cowardly Dog is often complimented on his "courage", but the only reason he got into those dangerous and scary situations was because of his love for Muriel.

6. There are some people in this world who treat introverts like test animals instead of people: They study introverts by only pricking, prying, and questioning them to "see what they do," or to make them do something, making the introverts feel more lonely and abnormal. Extroverts and extraverts need to be more aware of this.

7. Kindness will never have to switch gears but rarely, but roughness always will.

8.  Embrace the corny, cheesy, and soft. For those are the things worth living for.

9. (Christian Quote): God has blessed us to much, for us to warn and talk of trouble in the spirit of joy and inevitability.

10. You know you're older when you have to force and schedule your rest time.

The Burgerjoint Babel

    Once upon a time, there was a Caucasian Lady who always went to her local burger joint for lunch. She was an older lady, who lived on the proper side of town. She just came in there to get her usual, a #2 with a Diet Coke. She would order and sit at her regular seat, a corner at the opposite end of the restaurant, where a lone tree stood looming outside the window, its leaves bent over just enough to shine a dab of light and warmth. Just as she was finishing her meal and about to take the last sip of coke, a Latino couple walked in, speaking fluent Spanish, joking around and having the time of their lives.

    Immediately, she was unfettered. She sat up in her chair, pressing her back flat against it and folded her arms, as if to readjust and shield herself. The cashier was Brown, too. He could speak perfect English, but in taking their order, he started rolling his tongue, just like they did, laughing and joking with those same "ya" sounds that they do. The Lady had no hope of understanding because she figured she was too old to learn the language and more importantly, to old to want to. As she was done with her meal, she began to leave, but hesitated. She should've given them a piece of her mind, but nowadays that kind of talk never ended well. She knew she would only end up on every news outlet for being rude. The next "Tattletail Sally," or whatever they called it. So she decided to let it go.
But before she left, the wife noticed her Edgar Allen Poe scarf.

"Excuse me," she asked, "Are you a writer?"

The Lady blinked, then smiled, "In a way. I'm the head Research Librarian at the local library."

The wife replied, "I teach Literature at the university up the street. Would you mind coming to my class and discussing the era of Romanticism to my students?"

The Lady's face lit up, "Oh yes, of course! Are your students having trouble distinguishing Romanticism from Modernism? I've heard that's a major problem."

The wife responded, "Why, yes! They just don't understand that Romanticism is the era of indulgence while Modernism is the era of divergence."

"Precisely," the Lady said, "There is a major severance between Hemingway's icebergs and Poe's unities of effect." They giggled to each other, then the Lady turned to the husband, who was sitting next to them, looking confused.

He finally said, "What kind of language are you two talking?"

Reading Rants: Proverbs 24:10

Yeah, I don't think this scripture is written in the way God intended. Some things get lost in translation. I guess it could make logical sense, but I don't think it's supposed to. Just a thought.

Reading Rants

"WARNING: This is an Unconventional Opinion Article. It will go against an idea many people live by. Please do not read unless you are very open-minded. Negative comments will be treated as hostile."





I was very discouraged by the "rod of discipline" stuff I read in the Bible today. I thought the Lord wanted it to just be correction, but saying rod specifically seems to put focus on making it painful to me. I wish God stopped giving me these mixed signals and be more straightforward.
