blessings and curses

“Until a drag queen walks into a school and beats eight kids to death with a copy of ‘To Kill A Mockingbird’, I think you’re focusing on the wrong shit.” —Wanda Sykes

This is the best advice ever —”Live so that if your life were turned into a book, Florida would ban it.” —@GigidiGranat

Edmund Burke also paraphrased nicely, “Because half a dozen grasshoppers under a fern make the field ring with their importunate chink, whilst thousands of great cattle, reposed beneath the shadow of the British oak, chew the cud and are silent, pray do not imagine that those who make the noise are the only inhabitants of the field.” Social Media is not the universe of true comment. —@AndrewTrickett

I asked my friend
the rabbi
if there is a blessing
that is also a curse
and after thinking for a moment
she replied that yes
there is a blessing
that is also a curse:
may you be given
the same amount of empathy
as you give unto others.
