FAVORITE QUOTES FROM PHILOSOPHERS
- "Without philosophy we would be little above the animals."
- "By nature men are alike. Through practice they have become far apart."
- "What is important is not liberation from the body but liberation from the mind. We are not entangled in our own body, but entangled in our own mind."
- "To know what you do not know is best. To pretend to know what you do not know is a disease."
- "When the people don't respect those in power, then what they greatly fear is about to arrive."
- "Great man demands it of himself; petty man, of others."
- "Great man is always at ease; petty man is always on edge."
- "When strict with oneself one rarely fails."
- "Whether you like it or not, you'd better accept reality the way it occurs: as highly imperfect and filled with most fallible human beings. Your alternative, continual anxiety and desperate disappointment."
- "When the government is muddled and confused, the people are genuine and sincere. When the government is discriminate and clear, the people are crafty and cunning."
- "When you find something that is bad or that turns out bad, drop it and leave it alone."
- "Only the most intelligent and the most stupid do not change."
Amber did what every mother dreads. She took the scissors to her hair this morning. I was finishing up some cleaning in the kitchen, when she proudly came running in and shouted, "Mom, Amber cut hair in Ashey's room!" I was caught off guard as Amber is quite the mindful child and doesn't do things like this (or so I thought). It wasn't completely obvious and I'm thankful she didn't cut it the way that some kids cut their hair... to the scalp! However, she did give herself some short, uneven bangs on one side of her forehead. She was proud, so I refrained from yelling and found the best way to handle the situation, by reassuring her that only mom cuts hair! She WILLINGLY and PROUDLY took me to the crime scene and sure enough, there were her precious little hair strands, on the floor in Ashley's room.
I gathered them up and took this picture for evidence. Jury needed no deliberation time. Verdict... guilty of hair altering, in the first degree! Sentence: 2 years of no scissor use, unless accompanied by an adult. Fair sentence I think. I hope that this is the last time she pulls this "two year old" hair stylist stunt. I can handle most things.....just not hair cutting!
