Too Much Stupid
I find that Literature and Words to be a powerful force. That said, words can be bombastic, void of meaning or depth - empty air.
Today, while I was waiting for my counseling appointment, I read the various quotes stickered on the more interesting professors' doors (some choose not to decorate their doors at all). I came across this one:
Death is a confirmation of the believer's creed. For the skeptic, it is a discovery immense and late.
Skeptic that I kinda/sorta am, I instantly wondered - and how does this author know that? Has someone died recently, rejuvenated (without turning into a brainaholic zombie), and told the author which version of the afterlife they saw?
What does this actually mean? What does this actually say?
It's nothing but a linguistic raspberry. I'm right, you're wrong pffbbtt!
I was actually disappointed to see that on an English professor's door. There's enough Trite tripped out in every day life...must it be indulged more than it already is?
