"he allowed himself to be swayed by his conviction that human beings are not born once and for all on the day their mothers give birth to them, but that life obliges them over and over again to give birth to themselves."-marquez

The Secret News

"Announcer: Good Evening ladies and gentlemen, it’s time for the secret news. Ssshhh. Here’s the secret news: All people are afraid. No one knows what they’re doing. Everything is getting worse. Some people deserve to die. Your money is worthless. No one is properly dressed. At least one of your children will disappoint you. The system is rigged. Your house will never be completely clean. All teachers are incompetent. There are people who really dislike you. Nothing is as good as it seems. Things don’t last. No one is paying attention. The country is dying. God doesn’t care. Ssshhh."

George Carlin wrote that.. Another author I respect wrote that as a culture we cannot get better if we don’t look at our past honestly and not try to pretend everything is perfect now.. I guess the thought is that we’re all scared of this stuff, and if we don’t look at it or face it then we’ll never get past it.. George Carlin did that , oh he made dirty jokes and used humor to do it, to look at truth and fear and our craziness.. and oh it made me sad to hear he died today, that’s all.

I have come to believe that the whole world is an enigma, a harmless enigma that is made terrible by our own mad attempt to interpret it as though it had an underlying truth.
