Poetical Perspective

A man said to the universe:

"Sir, I exist!"

"However," replied the universe,

"The fact has not created in me

A sense of obligation."
--Steven Crane

Directions: Just add water. Shake. Watch self-pity disappear.

  1. I have a teeny-tiny copy of this posted on my desk at work. I use it to remind myself of some perspective when I'm getting all WHY DOES THE COPIER HATE ME? After posting it, I suddenly thought, ooh, I hope it's not seen as depressing. Because I don't think it is. I think it's ass-kicking. Don't wait on the universe, yo. Get shit done.

    Hee. Glad you like it, ajm!
