From “The Human Condition: A User’s Manual,” by Arnold Kunst
23 January
Let’s imagine your girl friend enters the room where you sleep and says
something like this: “Is there a floor in this room? All I see is shirts and
socks and jock straps and magazines and beer cans and pizza boxes and orange
peels. In fact, those peels look like they’re actually germinating in the dirt
and dust.”
And your reaction? Well, you may be tempted to stay a pig and denounce
her to your buddies as a neat freak, or you could take her advice and do what
she says, and grow in the process. Doing what she says just may get you to
where you clearly need to be. Maybe she’s The One, and maybe she’s not; either
way you need, literally, to clean up your act. After all, let’s face it: it’s
really hard to stand tall among those germinating orange peels, right?
