In reply to What do you do when ..., posted by Willow on June 12, 2001, at 22:27:20
A blind man was seen waiting at a street corner with his guide dog. After a short wait the dog started leading the blind man
across the street against the red light. First a car comes screeching to a halt inches away from him, but still the dog leads on,
then a bicyclist almost wipes them out and curses as he goes by. Finally in the last lane a truck swerves and barely misses them.After they reach the far corner the blind man reaches in his pocket and pulls out a cookie and offers it to the guide dog. At this
point another person who has watched the entire episode interrupts asking why he was rewarding the dog after the dog had
endangered his life and almost got him run over by a car, bicycle and truck.The blind man responded: "I'm not rewarding him, I'm just trying to find out which end is his head so I can kick him in the ass."
Hi Willow,
when I do not care anymore, I know it's me, because i firmly believe that the world out there is astounding and full of rapture. Therefore it is me who is stuck in a 'bored god complex'. Then I sit down quietly, and do nothing resisting urges to move and to do anything. Eventually the desire to do some specific thing becomes overwhelming, and I fashion all sorts of reasons for me to stop sitting and start going. that is how I deal with 'I do not care anymore' scenario: I force myself to 'not care' even more. the trick here obviously is to take over something that was taking over you, and bring it to the absurd extreme.mila
