Folded thought of the day:


"Instead of killing and dying in order to produce the being that we 
are not, we have to live and let live in order to create what we are." 

-- Albert Camus

Some reader responses to last week's Günter Grass posting:

"I really think there is something wrong with people who don't want 
to bang on a tin drum once in a while.  We need to remember that 
the to change anything whether small or large, it only takes one 
person to get the 'ball' rolling."  
-- Sandy

"Insanity is a state of being when an individual cannot accept the 
fact that they cannot change the very thing which is driving them 
crazy!"
-- Tim

"Are the insane truly insane?  Or are they driven by incomprehensible 
grief over the state of the world around them, and their inability 
to fix/deal with it."
-- Deemed

"The thought I find sad is that if you really do cry reading a 
newspaper no one comments except to say maybe you shouldn't read it 
if you'll cry."
-- Kelly

"we would all probably feel better if we beat on a drum and 
screamed on a daily basis, then we would take less anger out on 
people that we do not even know."
-- Cricket

"Who indeed is the sane one?  The one who feels too deeply and 
lets it get to his soul?  Or, is it the one who has become numb 
to the suffering of others?"

"It is so interesting how children view our world, as we get 
older we seem to get hardened to the things around us.  Wouldn't 
it be nice if we could keep our views like that of a child."
-- K. Johnson

"...we should all shed a tear or two each day for those that aren't
as blessed as we are!"
-- DJ
