Comfort Stories Inherit The Wind

More From Finley Peter Dunne

In all life one should comfort the afflicted, but verily, also, one should afflict the comfortable, and especially when they are comfortably, contentedly, even happily wrong.
Life Acceptance Comfort
Children are meant to understand compassion and comfort because they have received compassion and comfort - and this should be in the family setting. a family should be a place where comfort is experienced and understood, so that the people are prepared to give comfort to others.
Forgiveness Children Compassion
I hate the concept of the clog! it's fake, it's ugly, and it's not even comfortable! and i hate the whole concept of comfort! it's like when people say, 'well, we're not really in love, but we're in a comfortable relationship.' you're abandoning a lot of ideas when you are too into comfort. 'comfy'-that's one of the worst words! i just picture a woman feeling bad, with a big bottle of alcohol, really puffy. it's really depressing, but she likes her life because she has comfortable clogs.
Depressing Hate Ideas
Yes, we could talk to you for days on end about all the bad first dates. those are stories. funny stories. awkward stories. stories we love to share, because by sharing them, we get something out of the hour or two we wasted on the wrong person. but that's all bad first dates are: short stories. good first dates are more than short stories. they are first chapters. on a good first date, everything is springtime. and when a good first date becomes a relationship, the springtime lingers. even after it's over, there can be springtime.
Two Awkward Stories
Humans are designed to seek comfort and order, and so if they have comfort and order, they tend to plant themselves, even if their comfort isn't all that comfortable. and even if they secretly want for something better.
Order Comfort Want
The desire for story is very, very deep in human beings. we are the only creature in the world that does this; we are the only creature that tells stories, and sometimes those are true stories and sometimes those are made up stories. then there are the larger stories, the grand narratives that we live in, which are things like nation and family and clan and so on. those stories are considered to be treated reverentially. they need to be part of the way in which we conduct the discourse of our lives and to prevent people from doing something very damaging to human nature.

As much as i've produced it looks to people like i must have written quickly, but it isn't that - because i put in in a sixty- or seventy-hour week.

I certainly wasn't able to get it when i was a kid growing up on the lower east side; it was very hard at that time for me to balance what i really believed was the right way to live with the violence i saw all around me - i saw too much of it among the people i knew.

Anyone can identify with those moments in life where circumstances or people inform us that we've strayed from the path of our better nature and intentions. we know what that's like, and we resist it - so as not to feel like we're bad people.
