Quotable Thursday!

Here we are again already - Quotable Thursday! Which also means it's almost Friday  :D

But on to Quotable Thursday *ahem*. 

Today's quote is one of my favorites of all time, by one of my favorite authors. It's one I wish more people would take to heart, because there are a *lot* of self-absorbed people out there who don't feel they have to do anything but complain about their lives. They take no responsibility for the state his or her life is in at the moment, just blame society, other people, you name it. 

You know the kind of people I'm talking about. This quote is for them.

"All Uncle Larry is saying is that individuals have to accept responsibility for their own bad choices. If every time we choose a turd, society, at great expense, simply allows us to redeem it for a pepperoni, then not only will we never learn to make smart choices, we will also surrender the freedom to choose, because a choice without consequences is no choice at all."

--Tom Robbins  Half Asleep In Frog Pajamas

Yep, Uncle Larry, I couldn't agree more. I've been victim to my own bad choices, and yep, I've complained about 'em. But I've cut back on that, and working to not complain about it at all. That's called being a grown up. Own up to what you did or didn't do, apologize if you can, and learn from it.

Feel free to disagree, of course, but hopefully it at least gave you a little something to think about.
