Through the Prism

After passing through the prism, each refraction contains some pure essence of the light, but only an incomplete part. We will always experience some aspect of reality, of the Truth, but only from our perspectives as they are colored by who and where we are. Others will know a different color and none will see the whole, complete light. These are my musings from my particular refraction.

Looking Out for Number One

This morning we were watching the Good Morning America coverage of Yankee pitcher Corey Lidle's airplane crash into a New York high rise and they interviewed a resident of the building who was at home when it happened. He said his first reaction was not to call 911, but to get his camera and start filming. So that's what he did. Better to capture footage of people dying so you can get rich off of it than do something to help, after all.

We live in an age of glory and wonder, do we not?

I now have a strange craving for Monty Python movies?

Seriously, though... that is sad. Yet strikes me as very 'big city jaded'.

Humanity surrenders.

I believe you meant to say "Corey".

I did indeed. What a strange Freudian slip, because I even looked it up before writing it to make sure I had his name right. Now I can at least make sense of The Girl In Black's comment, because the reference had escaped me. And I'm going to go edit it now, so for anyone who reads this from now on and is confused, I originally wrote "Eric Lidle" instead of "Cory Lidle."

Hey, you already said you come from absent-minded stock. And who doesn't love British humourists?
