i think there is a lot of wisdom in the old saying, if you don't have something good to say, don't say anything at all. i've held to that. for the most part. except it feels like people figure you either a) are dead inside b) don't give a fuck or c) you can be walked on because you won't say anything. now between the first two, i don't give two fucks which it is.
but c.
c makes me feel (and sound) like a pussy. no offense to pussy cats but i don't want to be a pussy. i wouldn't mind being a big scary pussy..by which i mean a fierce, revered by all cat of the jungle. but in the traditional sense of the word pussy, no thanks.
c. i suppose c would fit best with the dumbest (sorry if i offend you, o empty cyberspace) saying in the whole Bible - if someone slaps you, turn to him the other cheek also. that is just ridiculous. here. you fucked my dog (i don't have one) you can fuck my goldfish also. no. that's just wrong. how does that teach anyone about anything? didn't God punish the israelites for 40 years just for saying, hey big God guy. i think you're full of it. you aren't really gonna give us all that land. God was a vengeful guy. something happened between the old and the new testament but that's another story. the point is, the old testament God was a mean SOB. you didn't grovel and you got set out to dry in the desert. literally. hairy eyeball His chosen people (i love Jews btw) and you get swallowed up by the red sea. have job-like obedience, and He tests the shit out of you. sell stuff in the church lobby and He'll sic Jesus on you to trash your tables. be disgruntled enough, and He'll send a woman with an apple after you. on that one..*pauses thoughtfully*....hmmmm...
point being. God. justice. it's in His blood. so then i'm stuck for an alternate explanation. i personally would be a fan of turning the other cheek leveraging a wounded up right hook. i mean, if you keep turning the other cheek, you'll a) run out of cheeks to turn b) your cheeks will start to burn c) be the most spineless human that ever walked this earth. i say, nail the sucker back.
and that's all i have to say tonight.
