I found some thoughts in my notes that I could not possibly be clever enough to have created. I don't recall where the following came from so I hope that the original source will forgive me if it is a direct copy and paste here.
Mercy Teach every child you meet the importance of forgiveness. It's our only hope of surviving their wrath once they realize just how badly we've screwed things up for them. Wishes When you wish upon a falling star, your dreams can come true. Unless it's really a meteorite hurtling to the Earth which will destroy all life. Then you're pretty much hosed no matter what you wish for. Unless it's death by meteor. Tradition Just because you've always done it that way doesn't mean it's not incredibly stupid. Mistakes It could be that the purpose of your life is only to serve as a warning to others. Accomplishments You can fool all of the people all of the time if your effects budget is large enough. Achievement You can do anything you set your mind to when you have vision, determination, and an endless supply of expendable labor. Acquisition The discovery that you're no longer a big fish in a small pond, or even a small fish in a big pond, but a small fish in a big fish. Agony Not all pain is gain. Beauty If you're attractive enough on the outside, people will forgive you for being irritating to the core. Arrogance The best leaders inspire by example. When that's not an option, brute intimidation works pretty well, too. Ambition The journey of a thousand miles sometimes ends very, very badly. Blogging Never before have so many people with so little to say said so much to so few. Committees Just like teamwork. Only without the work. Change (winds) When the winds of change blow hard enough, the most trivial of things can become deadly projectiles. Change Politicians are like diapers. They need to be changed often and for the same reason.
