I’m at a resort near Cancun this week. Every day there’s a wedding on the lawn. Same setup, same decorations, just different people. I think it would be really weird to show up a couple of days before your own wedding and watch it happen twice before you.

"To draw an analogy: a man’s suffering is similar to the behavior of gas. If a certain quantity of gas is pumped into an empty chamber, it will fill the chamber completely and evenly, no matter how big the chamber. Thus suffering completely fills the human soul and conscious mind, no matter whether the suffering is great or little. Therefore the “size” of human suffering is absolutely relative." (Viktor E. Frankl, Man's Search for Meaning) image

I don’t support capital punishment. But if the state has decided to kill a citizen, actually do it. Own the decision. Firing squad, guillotine, hanging. Those are the options. Lethal injection is the tool of a state that doesn’t actually want capital punishment. People who are afraid of blood should not seek violence.

I’ve been meaning to read @Lyn Alden's The Stolguard Incident for some time. I went onto amazon.ca and it’s on sale for kindle for $0.99. Smash buy! image

"Reality is far more vicious than Russian roulette. First, it delivers the fatal bullet rather infrequently, like a revolver that would have hundreds, even thousands, of chambers instead of six. After a few dozen tries, one forgets about the existence of a bullet, under a numbing false sense of security." (Nassim Nicholas Taleb, Fooled by Randomness) image
