stupid kids responsibility
You don’t care where I live or how I feel, or what I eat or how I feed my kids or how I pay the doctor if I get sick, and yes I am stupid and bored and weak, but I am still your responsibility.
responsibility feel-better ego
Hey, you created me! I didn't create some loser alter-ego to make myself feel better. Take some responsibility!
moving responsibility people
People who don't want to get on with their lives, and don't want to accept responsibility for the direction of their lives want to hang out with other people who don't want to accept responsibility or move on, and so you find that your entire culture around you are people who are just like you, because that's what's comforting.

Arguing that God doesn't exist would be like people in the 10th century arguing that germs and microbes didn't exist because they couldn't see them.

Every apostle or disciple, as much as they're running to follow their savior- they're running just as hard to escape something else.

I've always been very curious about fringe cultures where people temporarily adopt a different social model or way of presenting themselves.
age god
At the age of 31, I realized, 'Oh my God, I may die like everyone else.'
longer time
Most novels, I find, are three times longer than they need to be. Very little happens, and I don't want to waste my time with them.
eat fair forced forgotten grow ignored left science until
Us. God's forgotten Science Fair project, left to grow mold. God's goldfish, ignored until we're forced to eat our own shit off the bottom.
I am enormously uncool. I've made a cottage industry of being uncool. And I'm fine with that.
