Fixing stuff, myself included…
Habits
Usually we think about breaking/kicking bad habits rather than creating/keeping good habits.
So?
I’m very much “out of” the habit of writing, and I’m not sure why. It could be I’m hiding things from myself, kind of like going around with my eyes closed, or averted from things I just don’t want to see/take responsibility for. Maybe I don’t have anything left to say.
That’s rediculous!
Well, there is one thing I’ve been feeling guilty about.
What’s your dirty secret?
I haven’t made up my mind on the War issue. I’m still sitting on the fence. Nothing the administration has said thus far has convinced me that it’s necessary, but on the other hand I haven’t heard everything they’ve said. My sister is absolutely against it. When I spoke with her I didn’t tell her I was, or was not. I just let her assume that I was “in her camp.” My friend Abbott is totally for going. He says, “we should have moved weeks ago, and screw the UN.” How can war lead to peace? Is that an oxymoron? Is war inevitable? I just don’t know.
How did we get from good habits to questioning the inevitability of war?
All I can say is that just thinking about this gives me indigestion, but it’s something I must come to terms with / must have a position on.
Why?
It’s not that I’m apathetic; it’s that I’m undecided. Is it indecision that caused stress?
“Indecision is like a stepchild: if he does not wash his hands, he is called dirty, if he does, he is wasting water.”
