My favorite Terry Pratchett character is DEATH. Of all his fictional humans I associate myself with a creature of non-human nature. It is with HIM that I have most in common: we both prefer to study humans from afar, we are both intrigued by them, we both don't understand them.

Maybe that is why I fail with people - I am trying to figure out something that just isn't there to be figured out, I am trying to find logic where there's only chaos.

From the web: non-human creature = creature displaying some human characteristics but not enough characteristics to be considered a human.

"some but not enough". Half-human. Well, there is worse than that. Fake human, mean human. "half-human" is something I can live with.

"Only a Sith deals in absolutes."

It looks like Siths are already among us. I'd fight any monster but don't let me stand against a self-righteous man. Little is more dangerous than a blind mind.

On Friday morning, at the bus stop, I found a lost husky dog. I managed to put a leash on her, took her home, made pictures, placed "dog found" ads, basically did whatever I could think of.

In a nutshell: late in the evening I got a call from the dog's owner and they were reunited. Happy end.

I don't feel proud of myself - you shouldn't feel proud for doing the right thing.

But I'm scared that in the face of the next challenging situation I might disappoint myself and choose instead the easy way. It turns out I am the only person of whose opinion I am afraid.

Don't peek at other people's glasses to check if they're full. What's in those glasses might be poison to you. Be sustainable.

The more troubled I get the more certain I am that the solution to my troubles is a very simple one. However, there's a catch like in the saying that there's just one book worth reading but you have to read 10000 books to find which one. So I guess I have to fail over and over and over again before I succeed.

The good thing is that at least I find success to be a real option.

Treat fragile objects with caution. A broken vase is above all broken and not much of a vase. It's the same with people.

Don't ever fall into the trap of reshaping your uniqueness just to fit someone else's's expectations. No one is so smart to know better than you what's best for you.
