Good Things To Know

If a donkey carries a load of wise books, that doesn't make the beast intelligent. It’s still a donkey. An ass is always the offspring of an even bigger ass. God is you doing bad things, blaming him just makes it worse. If at all possible try not to make a child in your image, especially if your own image is a work in progress. Problems that you cannot solve do not matter. Problems that are solvable often indicate that you were wrong then and now. If anyone claims to be an expert in anything, walk away quickly whistling loudly. Bird poop in your hair is not a blessing. Fake it, knowing you will never convince anyone, least of all yourself. Eating only vegetables may well retard your muscle memory and stunt your hair growth. Never claim to be a poet until you have shed 10 years of mind-sweat, and discarded enough early crap to fill a dumpster. Edit yourself not just what you write. If you come across a semi-naked guru, test him by stealing his loin cloth. If he really has given up all worldly things he will not run after you with an axe, but of course you know he will.
