Say whaaaa?

This is a good one: "Be careful how you are talking to yourself because you are listening"

Are you kidding me? First off, what am I saying to myself that I need to be careful with? If I am talking to myself then I won't be offended because I know myself quite well.

But who's really having some sort of deep conversation with themselves in the first place to the point of needing a warning?

Sorry Lisa M. Hayes, that's just goofy.

Evil doesn't deserve forgiveness

Another silly quote if you ask me. 

Let's say somebody did something to you like, oh I don't know, listed your personal address, phone number, and information online and told the world you live alone and are a single white female with a map /directions to your house. Let's also say that years went by and they never gave any sort of apology either yet want back into your life. Then, just for fun, let's say it all happened simply because you couldn't make it to their college graduation (maybe a 2 year community college no less, bravo!) because you had a vacation planned out months before you ever knew about that graduation. Let's even say it was your own sister! Let's say they called you nasty names and did nothing but make you cry for months on end all while you were VERY pregnant and they knew they were hurting you.

Yea, let's say all of that is just part of what happened as a hypothetical scenario. Would you forgive that person? Of course not, they're clearly an insane fool. Downright evil. It doesn't make sense to hold anger towards them of course but once you let go of the anger and move on you're good to go. 

Forgiveness doesn't have to be part of moving on people. You can live life happy without forgiving everyone. I mean, we didn't forgive Hitler for his actions, right? And while we all know what he did was the work of a madman I don't think we're all walking around with anger just raging to get out because of it. Hell, I'm not sure I've even forgiven that guy that cut me off on the freeway a few days ago yet I feel no anger towards him. Just another dumb Internet quote.

This is the quote that finally pushed me over the edge.

How do you accept an apology you never got? If you never got it there is nothing to accept. If you can get beyond that fundamental flaw in this quote then how does it make life easier?

How about just being a stronger person and realize that the world is filled with a lot of bad apples. There are just bad people who do bad things and that's not going to change any time soon. That's what needs "accepting" here because once you accept that you can move on and avoid those bad people.

Ever notice that Facebook.com has just become a place where people post all sorts of goofy images of quotes?

I'm all for a good quote, but most of what I see is pure crap. In many cases, the quote simply doesn't make any sense. In many more cases, you'll get people posting this crap even though they don't truly follow the idea the quote is trying to get across (making quotes very much like many religions and religious people on the planet...zing!).

So I'll be posting what I find here as a sort of Internet Archive of Stupidity...ooh, got my tagline!
