Really guys? You are going to ruin a fun and inspirational thread with his kind of crap. How about leaving it out of this thread, and you go start your own thread called, "Snarky ways to throw politicians' stupid comments back in their faces"? I would love that thread. I have a million of those! It just seems like it ruins the spirit and vibe of this one.

Not saying these kinds of things aren't funny. I have at least 150 of them from this election alone. I'm saying it isn't in the spirit of the thread and is just going to poison something that has been fun for everyone so far.

I like the "imagery" of this:

"High up in the North in the land called Svithjod, there stands a rock. It is a hundred miles high and a hundred miles wide. Once every thousand years a little bird comes to this rock to sharpen its beak. When the rock has thus been worn away, then a single day of eternity will have gone by." - Hendrik Willem Van Loon
 
"Sometimes, if you stand on the bottom rail of a bridge and lean over to watch the river slipping slowly away beneath you, you will suddenly know everything there is to be known." A. A. Milne
 
"The easiest part of the face to draw is the eye. The hardest part of the face to draw is the other eye." -Heard from my kid. I don't know where he got it.

I am always teased to use this when someone lawndart a rocket, but I never do it out of compassion.
 
Light travels faster than sound. This is why some people appear bright until they speak.– Steven Wright
 
Acceptance
Acceptance is the answer to all my problems today.
When I am disturbed,
It is because I find some person, place, thing, situation --
Some fact of my life -- unacceptable to me,
And I can find no serenity until I accept
That person, place, thing, or situation
As being exactly the way it is supposed to be at this moment.
Nothing, absolutely nothing happens in God's world by mistake.
Unless I accept life completely on life's terms,
I cannot be happy.
I need to concentrate not so much
On what needs to be changed in the world
As on what needs to be changed in me and in my attitudes.


I don't know who wrote this,,
But I do like it...

A therapist once asked me, "Are you angry because of what they did, or are you angry because they didn't do what *you* expected them to do? You can't change his behavior, but you can change your expectations."

I've often been reminded of that. It's useful advice in a great many situations.
