Mornings out front with a coffee,
I sat down
The day was promising and the coffee facilitated some deep thinking.
Ma opened the door and asked me what I was doing,
and I said, “Nothing.”
The reason I said “nothing” instead of saying “just thinking” is because she then would have asked, “About what?”
At that point I would have had to explain that men are deep thinkers about various topics, which would lead to other questions.
Finally I pondered an age old question: Is giving birth more painful than getting kicked in the nuts?
Women always maintain that giving birth is way more painful than a guy getting kicked in the nuts, but how could they know?
Well, after another sip of coffee and some more heavy deductive thinking, I have come up with an answer to that question.
Getting kicked in the nuts is more painful than having a baby, and even though I obviously couldn’t really know, here is the reason for my conclusion:
A year or so after giving birth, a woman will often say, it might be nice to have another child.
But you never hear a guy say, You know, I think I would like another kick in the nuts.
quiet coffee is over
I gotta go make breakfast
He who is not angry when there just cause for anger is immoral.
Why?
Because anger looks to the good of justice
If you can live amid injustice without anger
you are both immoral & unjust
Saint Thomas Aquinas spoke of such things
