From “The Human Condition: A User’s Manual,” by Arnold Kunst
17 December
No matter who you are, no matter where you've been, no
matter where you’re going, no matter how you're going to get there, no matter
what advantages you have, or don’t have, 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 unconscious 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.
