Quote of the Day – November 7 2012

“I won’t tell you that the world matters nothing, or the world’s voice, or the voice of society. They matter a good deal. They matter far too much. But there are moments when one has to choose between living one’s own life, fully, entirely, completely—or dragging out some false, shallow, degrading existence that the world in its hypocrisy demands. You have that moment now. Choose!”
― Oscar Wilde

Sometimes fortune smiles upon us. Here, because of the electoral nonsense happening down below in the land of my birth, I found the temptation to find a quote that talked about choice to be compelling. Luckily I found one that allows me to bypass discussing something that anyone sane has grown tired of long before this point. Of course as Oscar says, the things in the world matter or matter as much as we are willing to let them and of late, tho I render onto the world what is due and even feign interest, its amazing how few things I give matter to in my head. The kindness that one person shows another matters. Every instance of love and caring.. Every person going beyond their own heads, transcending who they were before in order to either help others, become something new or both, that matters.
Which sucker crazy enough to want to run a nation wins or what’s on television or what so and so is doing to such and such, not so much….
Blessings, G
