It makes me wonder sometimes. remember a couple years ago, when mexicans went on strike? it was talked about a little bit but not that much. but some old white people, and there aren't even that many, they put bonnets on, and then they control the news.

Couple Years White

More From David Sedaris

We are on strike, we, the men of the mind. we are on strike against self-immolation. we are on strike against the creed of unearned rewards and unrewarded duties. we are on strike against the dogma that the pursuit of one's happiness is evil. we are on strike against the doctrine that life is guilt.
Work Men Self
We cannot choose how many years we will live, but we can choose how much life those years will have. we cannot control the beauty of our face, but we can control the expression on it. we cannot control life's difficult moments but we can choose to make life less difficult. we cannot control the negative atmosphere of the world, but we can control the atmosphere of our minds. too often we try to choose and control things we cannot. too seldom we choose to control what we can ... our attitude.
Attitude Optimistic Expression
[...] and as i walked, i tried to see the funny side. it wasn't easy, and i'm still not sure that i managed it properly, but it's just something i like to do when things aren't going well. because what does it mean, to say that things aren't going well? compared to what? you can say: compared to how things were going a couple of hours ago, or a couple of years ago. but that's not the point. if two cars are speeding towards a brick wall with no brakes, and one car hits the wall moments before the other, you can't spend those moments saying that the second car is much better off than the first.
Couple Wall Mean
Now your kids can't escape. thirteen-year-olds back then, if they didn't watch the evening news, they didn't see news. if they didn't watch the 6:30 or seven p.m. news, they didn't see news. today younger people have much more access to that kind of hard news than you did when you were 13 back then.
Kids People Today
People get sick and sometimes they get better and sometimes they don't. and it doesn't matter if the sickness is cancer or if it's depression. sometimes the drugs work and sometimes they don't. sometimes the drugs work for a while and then they stop. sometimes the alternative stuff works and sometimes it doesn't. and sometimes you wonder if no outside interference makes any difference at all; if an illness is like a storm, if it simply has to run its course and, at the end of it, depending on how robust you are, you will be alive. or you will be dead.
Running Cancer Differences
Wonder is like grace, in that it's not a condition we grasp; it grasps us. wonder is not an obligatory element in the search for truth. we can seek truth without wonder's assistance. but seek is all we'll do; there will be no finding. unless wonder descends, unlocks us ... truth is unable to enter. wonder may be the aura of truth, the halo of it. or something even closer. wonder may be the caress of truth, touching our very skin.

O god, teach me to be satisfied with my own helplessness in the spiritual life. teach me to be content with your grace that comes to me in darkness and that works things i cannot see. teach me to be happy that i can depend on you. to depend on you should be enough for an eternity of joy. to depend on you by itself ought to be infinitely greater than any joy which my own intellectual appetite could desire.
Spiritual Joy Grace
