Loose Thoughts by Uncle Morty

Here begins the blog of Uncle Morty:

I find that the weather has become less pleasant and I am expected to earn my keep by writing a blog post. (I am pictured at left warming my bones during the brief period of warmth.)  After a difficult and somewhat depressing winter - things always go downhill for me after Halloween - I find that I must clear my empty skull of loose thoughts before I can write a proper essay.  So before they begin to roll out my empty eye sockets like loose marbles, I have captured these random ideas and placed them here for your perusal.  They come in no particular order.

On Civility - The Truth cannot appear friendly to a lie any more than a pediatric nurse appears friendly to a toddler getting shots.  Liars loudly demand civility - never honesty.

On Understanding the Universe - Spend the morning playing with a kitten.  It will give you a glimpse into the strange balance between tenderness and cruelty for which the Universe is justly famous.  (Especially when you remember this delightful creature will shortly become a cat.)

On Other People - The more easily you can consign someone's soul to Hell, the more easily you can consign their body to the grave. 

On Evil - No one wakes up one morning and decides to be evil.  Most evil people don't know they're evil.  Most people are at least a little evil.  The more you see evil in other people the less you see it in yourself.  The more you try to root out the evil in other people the more you can justify treating them poorly without feeling bad about it.  Then one morning, you wake up...and you're evil. 

On Listening - If you're afraid that listening to someone else's viewpoint will confuse you or give you doubts.  You're right.  Uncle Morty approves of that.  It's called "being human."

On Being Alive -   Don't be dead while you're alive.  Be Alive.

That last comment by Uncle Morty would make a good meme.
