Anger's Gift

Anger is nothing to be feared. It is natural to feel angry when another person tries to overstep your personal boundaries, when they attempt to squash your dreams, or interfere with your plans. Anger is a natural way to get the energy that you need to regain control of your personal situation and let the other party know to respect you or to leave you alone.

The trick is to do this before you become enraged. Anger is a gift. It alerts you to the fact that something is wrong. Listen to it so that you can understand why you feel it. Then try to set the situation straight. Anger is your friend: anyone who insists on violating your personal space is not.

Too much Harry Potter...

You know your friend is a control freak when he does something completely asinine but rather than apologize he'll perform an elaborate love spell in order to win your heart.

Some fool is going on a diet...

Under three things the earth trembles, under four it cannot bear up...

a fool who is full of food,

an unloved woman who is married...

~Prov 30:21-23


Who says that I have to cook the kind of food my fool likes? From today forward, it's beans, tofu and other vegetarian dishes all the way baby. The Earth will certainly tremble around my house because he'll be begging for the Beano (okay, if he's nice I'll soak the beans in fennel to decrease the gas...but I'm pretty pissed and want to be rude)!

Maybe he'll lose enough weight to find my replacement.

Question of the Day

If a woman happily gives her neighbor the shirt of her back, does her propensity towards being an exhibitionist minimize her kindness?

Protection or Slavery?

That man over there said that [a] woman needs to be lifted over ditches and
to have the best place every where. Nobody ever helped me into carriages, or
over mud puddles, or [gave] me any best place and aren't I a woman? Look at me! Look at my arm! I have plowed, and planted, and gathered into barns and no man
could head me - and aren't I a woman?

I could work as much and eat as much as a man when I could get it, and bear the lash as well - and aren't I a woman? I have borne thirteen children and seen them almost all sold off into slavery and when I cried out with a mother's grief, none but Jesus heard - and aren't I a woman?

- Sojourner Truth

***

Much injustice towards women, children, and minorities are done in the name of protection.

Is protection just a veil for slavery?

If women are so weak, why do we often end up doing so much more than the men in our lives?
Think about it.
