Why do we keep asking for perfection? Why do we think that everything else in society should work perfectly despite the fact that it is made up of fallible imperfect people just like us? And why when it all goes tits up do we cry to the government to fix it?
It almost like we've not grown up. A big part of growing up is to realise that life isn't fair, sometimes shit happens and mummy can't always kiss it better. I think that as a culture we try so hard to hide this simple truth, we try to create perfection and get angry when we fail because we don't want to grow up.
I need more coffee.
Do you walk down the street waving your wallet full of notes in the air shouting 'Ooo look at my lovely wallet'? Drink from puddles? Shout your pin out while typing it into the cash machine? And then stick the money in your back pocket, but only half way so it's dangling out?
Do you use Internet Explorer 6?
Listen to John Lennox and Richard Dawkins having a discussion. Very, very interesting.
