My second one was:
"Your own ability to rationalize your bad deeds makes you believe
that the entire universe is as amoral as yourself."

why should we believe the "universe" (or anything)
more "moral" than us in the first place?

I just love fortune cookies. Have you ever heard that you are supposed to tack on the words "in bed" at the end of the sentence? Try it...gives the proverb a whole new meaning ;-)
I tried it a couple of times and got: "You still don't know what you do well" (in bed) and "You are paralyzed by the fact that cruelty is often amusing" (in bed):-D See what I mean?

A wise thing, and just the thing I realized at some point last week. So I've signed up - in my ripe old age I'm a goin' to university, people!! Starting early next year. I've decided on a basic arts history course to get me into the swing of things, and from there I'll decide what next. I can't say I really have time for this, but I thought it would be a good way to conquer insomnia, and do something useful for a change. Instead of farting around on canvasses when I can't sleep, I'll be able to study
something!

don't think there's anything wrong with practicing your talent, riette. i'm all
for going back to school, just don't give up the other things. i'd recommend going
slowly to get back into it. look at me--have to laugh, been taking one course
a quarter and only have 16 college credits to my name! (what's helped me, though,
is the training i've received for work--they actually count towards school)

Here in Zürich - the ETH, which is supposed to be the best university in Switzerland.....which doesn't say much! I think it's going to be murderous with my painting, and being mother/housewife, but I'm so self-destructive, I could only thrive! I'm just sick of feeling useless, I suppose, sick of painting and painting and painting. I get so fed up with it. I think feeding my brain better will compliment the practical side of my art, and perhaps restore the joy it used to bring me. I defenitely won't g
ve it up - it's all I have - I just want to expand enough, and be busy enough so that I won't have time to get depressed anymore. I'm feeling quite bad at the moment, homesick and useless, and all that - but I don't want couselling or anything, I've never been a believer in that stuff. The way for me to conquer sadness is through being so active that all my thougths are dispersed in different directions instead of becoming so utterly concentrated on myself - that's what kills me.

Takes nerve and guts (and a bit of masochism!) to go back to school!
I've been talking about going back for my Master's for a couple of years now but I think I'm scared I couldn't handle the load. Wolf, I might do something like what you're talking about and take it one class at a time...
Certainly not next semester though!
