G-d doesn’t expect you to be perfect, She expects you to be imperfect—and is delighted when you disappoint Her.

Fiction may amuse us, but reality instills lessons to be imbibed through experience; to 'live' this stark reality called 'life' as a blessing, whereas some foolishly waste it by following fiction and fictitious characters.

A day doesn't pass that I'm not surprised.

...But although the rules are vagueAnd widely disregarded nowSome precepts remain: live with love - That is a rule we all can understand;Forgive those who need forgiveness,Which I think is everybody, more or less;Be kind - that, perhaps, is first and foremostIn any postmodern, new-fangledCode we devise for ourselves;Yes, be kind: love one another,And most of all tend with gentlenessThe small patch of terra firma That is allocated to each of us...

To live fully and securely, every human being needs what Arendt calls "specificity," the social and political status that comes with full membership in a community.

Seasoning one’s claims with self-irony and modesty, cultivating a tolerance for moral ambiguity, periodically practicing normative reticence, building up a resistance to the pleasure of purity, minding your own business, doing what you can to forget to wreak vengeance, defending negative freedom even if there is no such thing, and playing around are the best you can do. But that’s quite a lot.
