QUOTE OF THE DAY

“To love means loving the unlovable. To forgive means pardoning the unpardonable. Faith means believing the unbelievable. Hope means hoping when everything seems hopeless.”

You can only pardon the unpardonable if there is 500k in the deal.

HF sees things from the perspective of farming. So I have an animal example; scientific experiments with drowning rats showed that rats tended to survive drowning for a few hours, let’s say 2 or 3, after which, they gave up trying to live and went ahead and cashed in their chips.

Scientists found out that when they rescued some rats near the point of death, the same rats later held on for about 18 hours, give or take a day, before sleeping wit the fishes.

Which proves the point that hope trumps hopelessness.

supposed sniper philosophy: if you run, you’ll only die tired.

hopium, particularly in the drowned•either•way rats example, is what’s called a mindfuck.

that brand of soma’s been in the air & water forever, & poll\uted\s consistently come down on the “it’s a good thing” side, relying on survivorship bias to “prove” it.

quantity theories of staying•alive•insanity bring up the rear.

or, with enough hope & strive & intention, Pinocchio can become a flesh•puppet instead. but you know, both substances burn.

I was going to say something about Faith but it would only piss off Rawdawg.
Aw, fuck him;
Trump was seeing his numbers drop after the pussy-grabbing story. Then Kellyanne told him that he was going to win and Trump grabbed onto her words in faith. You know the rest of the story.
