Tonight's quote is of a more humorous nature than some, or rather, many of the ones I have in my book, haha! I enjoyed this author for a while and may pick her up again one of these days. Yeah, add to the list of books and authors that is a mile long already...
So on with it already, I am almost sure I can hear you saying :D
"The ability to make incredible fools of ourselves is what sets humanity apart from the animals."
-Dorothy Cannell Down the Garden Path
This quote is from a mystery series whose main character is Ellie Haskell. I could seriously relate to her when I first read the first book. Liked it enough I read several more.
Now... given all the videos of cats doing crazy things, dog shaming, and the like, one might be inclined to disagree. But if you think about it - the dogs and cats don't really care all that much. It's the people who do. I'm not saying those videos aren't funny! They are and I've watched my share of them. But the cats are still cool throughout...
However, I'm sure we can all identify with this idea, even if we won't admit it. I will absolutely own up to it. I make a fool of myself on a regular basis. The difference, I have found, is that I am now of an age I don't really care all that much anymore. Oh sure, something huge and I would be embarrassed, but what I've discovered in my experience is that worrying about others is pointless. In fact, most people probably aren't even aware enough of your existence to notice if you trip up the stairs or spill Coke on your shirt, or any of those little things people worry about.
Worry about the big things.
So there you are, my little piece of recycled wisdom for you, embodied in the words of someone else, lol. Enjoy!
