> I'm sorry you're feeling so low today. I sometimes think the greatest accomplishment is to just keep on going, to keep on waking up each morning and starting over.
bleh, every morning now i wake up I have a splitting headache and i feel like my body is in two places at once... something wacked w/ my meds, time for a tune up, pdoc appt. 2morrow, thank god...
> Parenthetically, I can't stand the book of Job. I can't quite understand how anyone's conception of God can include such a bet.
agreed, i read a particularly good essay about the paradox of Job, in that Job asks of God why he would punish him for nothing, and God replies that it is not his place to question, yet we know as observers that Job is really just the object of a bet, which leads us to the paradox itself in that we question if something is right because it is truly right by some standard scale, or is it right solely becasuse God says it is right, by the book of Job's account, if God said that murder was right than we would have to belive him...
sticky sticky stuff... but I love the old testament, fire, brimstone, lots of wars and chopping off of toes... pretty gruesome stuff for a religious work...
