Got my computer repaired over the weekend. The hard drive was failing. The good news is that Computer Doctors of Bradenton cloned me a new hard drive, so - things are wonderful. Anyway, as I was chatting with Russ, my computer doctor, about my options, we discussed the sorry state of the economy and how I can’t really afford to get a new computer right now. I joked that maybe next year we could afford an upgrade because my hubby will get a raise or my book will be featured on Oprah. He wanted to know which was more likely - I said Oprah (Consider that a nudge to all my good friends - 6 degrees of separation and we can make that happen).
Anyway - that got us talking about my book and Humanism. And yes, my computer doctor is a Humanist. And that’s when he shared with me what Humanism means to him. He said he and his brother have had a motto they have lived by since they were teenagers. And this motto sums up what Humanism means to him. And that is, “Don’t be a dick." It’s really simple. And so is Humanism.
You don't wanna go on Oprah darling... you wanna go on Colbert!
ReplyDeleteEither one works for me! All I need is an introduction. LOL
ReplyDeleteWhen I was in karate, I found a quote in the newsletter they printed. It said, "respect all, but fear no one" from someone unknown. I've always used that one as a rock for my ideologies and I think it applies well to humanism.
ReplyDeleteI actually prefer this one to A.C. Grayling's. My thanks to you and your computer guru.
