Boob's Law

Boob's Law: You will always find something in the last place you look.

Disappointing, isn't it?

A more appropriate "Boob's Law" should have been: Twins never look exactly the same.

A more interesting law, on the other hand, is Reality's Law:

Don't fight with ugly people,
They have nothing to lose.


Ok, I'm done with the witty, funny things that you're interested on. Now comes the rants and the ravings:

1. The faults we are most sensitive to are the same faults we make.

Sometimes I find that statement true, often I don't - either that or I'm seriously out of touch with reality and am deceived with my understanding of myself. I can honestly say that among many other things, I am most sensitive about people keeping their word and sticking to the plan. In contrast to the given statement, I do believe that I honestly give my best to keep my word, or have a valid reason why I my best efforts failed. Which is why if you tell me you'll treat me to pizza within the week then you're a man of you word if you did; if you didn't and you never showed that you cared that you broke your word then screw you.

2. "The faults we are most sensitive to are the same faults we make." - To hell with people who snap that back at you.

So I'm hard to deal with once a month (mostly due to periodic hormonal imbalance), doesn't mean I can't tell you that you're a bitch to get along with. If you think I have the same faults as you do then
(1) accept your faults,
(2) start a different argument pertaining to MY faults,
(3) NEVER ever think that someone's faults cancels out yours.

3. Hope is a powerful emotion.

You can keep people in your company if you promise them that if they stick around, something of their interest will happen.

In CSI (Crime Scene Investigator) Las Vegas, a psychotic serial killer advised his protege how to successfully incapacitate his victims' morale. He said to give your victims the hope of freedom -- if only they'd let you do whatever you want with them for a while, you'd let them go.

It's also called manipulation.

Although it's easy to render someone "hopeful", keeping them in that state is a very delicate art. What you risk is people's disappointment. And that would simply bite you in the ass.
