I rarely reblog, but this is such a great post, with a spot on title to boot, so, I give you ‘ 38 ways you can finally stop being a Dick’
I subscribe to an online magazine called the Elephant Journal which describes itself as “it’s about a mindful life”.
This online journal is one of many, too many, that I get on a daily and weekly basis about Buddhism, liberal Christian thought and mindfulness. Honestly I get so many I rarely read half of them but this particular email headline caught my attention; 38 ways you can finally stop being a D*ck.
Here is Via Shivani Vyas, who wrote article, list of 38 suggestions;
Communication:
1. Opt out of engaging in road rage. If someone does happen to show you their lovely middle finger, communicate the peace sign in return and just smile.
2. Be firm but courteous to telemarketers. Remember they are just doing their job to pay their bills.
3. Write a thank you card and mail it to someone who has helped you in any way, big…

This one I take teeny weeny bit of objection to. You see, several cultures vehemently discriminate: against gay people, woman and Liverpool supporters.
They often coerce their woman to cover up like walking advertisements for campingequpiment. I could excuse this but these poor woman are not allowed to even wear a scarf to denote their devotion to Liverpool FC.
Gay people suffer in a similar way although seeing as a Liverpool FC scarf is red it would be ideal to hide the blood stains when they have their heads chopped off.
Yes, they’ll never walk alone!
Yes I think I might just be accepting of such a culture if the Liverpool FC criteria were met.
I am also a tad squeamish to accept a culture that cuts of the foreskin of a baby’s penis, merely on the say so of a shockingly vile book that claims this will ensure they are quids-in with an ancient meglomanical, genocidal deity. Seems a tad far fetched to moi. But I will consider it a compromise if the bandage they tie on the little tyke’s willy is a minuter Liverpool FC scarf.
There are also cultures that eat dogs and cats and slaughter whales and dolphins and some that remove the clitoris from little girls.
I don’t believe a Liverpool FC scarf would help much in any of these scenarios.
In the end it is all a matter of tolerance, and in the meantime the Liverpool FC management should seriously consider sending out Liverpool FC scarfs to all these poor ignorant oppressed headless, foreskin-less, clitoris-less etc people in the hope that even though they are head cases at least that can all become Liverpool FC supporters and make the world a better place. Especially in the face of those Man United and Chelsea supporters. Bastards! Fookin’ Hate ’em

Yes, you’re quite right on all those points, though I think the core behind the sentence was to not hold grudges and overly judge your average Joe/Josephine/Jolene etc. I didn’t read religion or bigotry or both into any of the piece, but sure, all you say is true if it can be translated to mean all that Ark. – nods

I like to arrange letters of alphabet into something I like to call words, an anagram of sword. Then I shuffle the swords into something I like to call senescent sentences. Here is a 39th way “you can finally stop being a Dick”:
I can never remind myself enough that each pair of eyes I gaze into is a fellow traveller that does not belong to me — each such creature I encounter belongs to itself, never to me.
