Words to Live By
Gagdad Bob over at One Cosmos: Putting the “Psycho” in Psychoblogging has an interesting post on a left-wing psychoblogger. No, that’s not what it sounds like. It’s a shrink of some kind who’s blogging. There are several listed at Gagdad Bob’s One Cosmos site. They’re very interesting people to read.
In this post, Bob is analyzing a left-wing blogger who states in his “about me” page:
‘Soldz sets the tone, making reference to howBob examines this statement in more depth,
the American public has “rallied around a mythic ‘war on terror’” which
“is built on a simplistic duality of good versus evil.”’
In other words, the terrorists are not actually evil. Rather, it is
just that we have projected all of our “undesirable characteristics”
into the so-called “evil” other. Evidently, it is we who actually want
to chop their heads off and murder their children just for the hell of
it.
That’s good enough for me.Then, Bob comes up with what I consider a true aphorism - words to live by:I promise to stop thinking they’re evil if they promise to stop trying to kill me.
