We have no say over the hand dealt us in life, but we do have a lot of control over how this hand is played. We are responsible for bringing out the meaning of our own lives in each moment that we live. Remember each moment happens only once and can never be retrieved again. -Roberta Andersen

I perceived in this moment that when the white man turns tyrant it is his own freedom that he destroys. He becomes a sort of hollow, posing dummy, the conventionalized figure of a sahib. For it is the condition of his rule that he shall spend his life in trying to impress the "natives," and so in every crisis he has got to do what the "natives" expect of him. He wears a mask, and his face grows to fit it. I had got to shoot the elephant. I had committed myself to doing it when I sent for the rifle. A sahib has got to act like a sahib; he has got to appear resolute, to know his own mind and do definite things. To come all that way, rifle in hand, with two thousand people marching at my heels, and then to trail feebly away, having done nothing – no, that was impossible. The crowd would laugh at me. And my whole life, every white man's life in the East, was one long struggle not to be laughed at.

Typical of ST, another thread full of immature, stereotypical Christian-bashing.

"You know what everyone wants, from people? Everyone wants you to SPEAK! They even want their dogs to SPEAK! And more than ONCE AT THAT! Everyone wants to know something... and if you don't say nothin', you don't know nothin'... and if you don't know nothin'... you don't got somethin' for THEM!"

hey there-
"Sometimes it's hard to keep that anchor, but I got it. Lots of others don't have that anchor, and all they GOT is what's familiar to them. What they are simply USED to seeing. You know... now I can really understand why they arrested you... you and your condition were out in the sunlight instead of sitting-away all quiet-like, in the moonlight... AND... they didn't know how to DEAL WITH IT!"

how often - even before we began - have we declared a task "impossible"? And how often have we constructed a picture of ourselves as being inadequate? ... a great deal depends upon the thought patterns we choose and the persistence with which we affirm them.

And one of the greatest tragedies is people always just quoting sh'it here and never applying their true meanings in real life.

People are free to willfully discount reality. But they cannot escape reality's effects.
