What's right with people?

[Rain]

Figured out it'd be a lot quicker than to list what's wrong.

I'll start.

They're not immortal.

There. Done.

Cioran might argue that even then, but I think Sartre would agree.

As long as I don't have to be immortal... 😉

I've often found that people who have less of everything are more generous than those who have more of everything.

That has to be right.

Not sure about what's right with people as a class, but some individuals are pretty groovy.

[PhonoBrainer]

If our species is remembered in any way . . .  let it be for our cognitive capacity to change our minds, and for our behavioral inclination not to.

We're all flawed and wrong in a lot of ways.

I made up a saying one time as kind of a joke. I was talking to someone about another person we knew and the condition of the place they were living in. This person started busting on them.

Off the top of my head I just blurted out, ... well, when my halo and water walking sandals show up from Amazon Prime then I'll judge them.

It's shut down a lot of conversations I didnt want to be part of since. Lol. It's always funnier when it's true.

To quote Kenny Loggins' theme song from Caddyshack: I'm all right, don't nobody worry 'bout me

Somewhere there's got to be a photoshopped pic of your head on a gophers body peaking out a golfball hole. I just know there is.

I'm content to know that bits of me came into being when some long dead star went supernova ...

... and at some stage in the future, those very same bits will continue to vibrate in some form or other until the heat death of the universe.

 

To quote Woody Allen, "I'm not afraid of death. I just don't want to be around when it happens".

I've only ever been wrong once and ironically it was when I thought I might have been wrong about something and it turned out that I was actually right after all.

I should have known better than to doubt myself. This is my only flaw.

There's nothing wrong with that........all the best people do, right ?

At any given point in time people can learn how delusional they actually are and come up with a good back story and cover up .
