How to Say “Shut The Hell Up” and Make It Stick [Stashiu3]I just don’t get it. If I follow the rules, do the best I can with what I have, and refuse to take any shit from anyone without losing my cool, things seem to work out. It’s like politicians on both sides keep forgetting this, or letting the “worthy opposition” change the rules mid-game. Now, I’ve worked psych for a long time and I’ll tell you one thing I’ve learned is that EVERYONE is screwed up. It’s the human condition for pity’s sake! In his novel Lifehouse, Spider Robinson has a character discuss something called the “Asshole Principle.” According to him, everyone is an asshole, but the biggest ones are people who believe that somewhere, there are people who are NOT assholes and want to be mistaken for one of them. If you just accept that you’re an asshole, you can get through a lot. Now Spider is a long-haired, guitar-playing, science fiction writer whose about as liberal as you will ever see. Not the Liberal you see in the United States, but a truly liberal person, like the Democratic Party my parents were part of long ago. High ideals and striving to make the world a better place. I remember when being considered liberal was a compliment. It meant you took the high road and were open to new ideas on how to improve things. The world was a hopeful place and the United Nations would one day unite the world. | Recent Comments
