More From Michel De Montaigne

(while accepting the jean hersholt humanitarian award) i've been thinking about why you have to get famous to get an award for helping other people...if your name is john doe, and you work night and day doing things for your helpless neighbors, what you get for your effort is tired. so, mr. and mrs. doe, and all of you who give of yourselves, to those who carry too big a burden to make it on their own, i want you to reach out and take your share of this...because if i have earned it, so too have you.
Tired Helping Others Night
There is no enemy can hurt us but by our own hands. satan could not hurt us, if our own corruption betrayed us not. afflictions cannot hurt us without our own impatience. temptations cannot hurt us, without our own yieldance. death could not hurt us, without the sting of our own sins. sins could not hurt us, without our own impenitence.
Hurt Hands Temptation

So when somebody asks me to make a decision about a situation, i don't offer a solution, i ask a question: what are our options? give me the good, give me the bad, give me the pretty, give me the ugly, give me the impossible, give me the possible, give me the convenient, give me the inconvenient. give me the options. all i want are options. and once i have all the options before me, then i comfortably and confidently make my decision.
