RSS“Many people believe that the key to an improved lifestyle is less work. I think it’s better work.

“The weird thing about those advertisements (raising money for charity) is that make you think that the poor are in some way fundamentally different from US, that THEY are a THEM. So in our minds, it becomes this formulation: WE should help THEM. But it’s not a THEM problem, it’s an US problem. WE need to help US. Poverty isn’t about THEM, it’s about US. There is no THEM. There are only facets of US. They may not know ‘your mom’ jokes, they may not speak English, they may not have high speed internet, but they’re still part of US.”

Who ever made up the rule that engagement rings should be worth thrice the guy’s salary is an imbecile. Is it not enough that another person made a decision to summon enough courage to ask you to spend your life with him? Do you really need a ring with three stones on each side and a queen diamond in the middle to appreciate it?
“For the Son of God, Jesus Christ, who was preached among you by me and Silas and Timothy, was not “Yes” and “No,” but in him it has always been “Yes.”
