i spike my hair and i have found that, invariably, if i look in the mirror while i am spiking it, it always turns out worse than if i spike it without paying attention.
this pretty much sums up, i think, the amish way of life. the amish don't go to school past the 8th grade. i am not sure what all of their reasons are for that, but they're smarter than the rest of us in very many ways. example: they know that the less you know, the more you know. or at least, the better off you are.
think about it for a minute. aside from the rare, rare exception, how many evil amish people are out there? how many times do amish people commit murder? or adultery? or even just plain tell a lie? (well, ok, so maybe they do that.) the answer is - hardly ever, ever, ever. and yet, those of us with a buncha fancy schmancy education do those kinds of things so routinely that we don't even blink anymore when they happen.
so maybe there is something to this "ignorance is bliss" idea. maybe the less we know - at least sometimes - the better.
and for those of you who have to look at me with my spiked hair - you're welcome.
