IMPROMPTU PROMPTED BLOGGERISH

SCRAPS

I keep finding scraps of paper, scraps of words, scraps of this and scraps of that.  I have been writing things down lately - then putting them here and there and sometimes everywhere and then I find them over there or anywhere.  I've decided the word parts of these scraps belong in my BLOG.

I never thought it was very useful to give people answers.  Self-serving non-productivity.  It does, however, do a lot of good to give people questions.  Here's a question for you:  Do you trust anyone enough to allow them to answer your questions for you?


If an admittedly selfish person, a person who is only interested in his or her own well-being, discovers, that by ACTING altruistic, his or her own self-interest is best served, thus creating the illusion in the minds of others that he/she is the most generous of people -- Should that person be considered altruistic or self-serving, or both?  I think I'll just call that kind of person 'correct'.


Yes I care!  I care so damn much I might kill myself or get drunk!  Which would be worse!?  I can't give into the care or that's what would happen.  But I have my refuge.  I know I don't HAVE to care!


The final answer to everything is NOT, "Because that's what God wants".  No, the final answer is, "Because that's the way it is".  Or, "was or will be",  if you believe in time.
