From
“The Human Condition: A User’s Manual,” by Arnold Kunst
13 November
No matter who you are, no
matter how gifted you are, no matter where you've been, no matter where you’re
going, no matter how you're going to get there, there are things in the
way. "Self pity" is such a
pervasive and insidious disease that most of us, most of the time, see those
things in the way as "obstacles". This in turn confirms our unspoken
assumption that God is a sadist. But
sometimes I get the self-pity thing under control; sometimes I forget to feel
sorry for myself (like "forgetting" to worry when I fall asleep at
night) - and then "obstacles" become "opportunities".
They're disguised, maybe, but I think that’s by design – they’re supposed to
add to the excitement and wonder of Life.
