To those human beings who are of any concern to me I wish suffering, desolation, sickness, ill-treatment, indignities — I wish that they should not remain unfamiliar with profound self-contempt, the torture of self-mistrust, the wretchedness of the vanquished: I have no pity for them, because I wish them the only thing that can prove today whether one is worth anything or not — that one endures.

Friedrich Nietzsche

1844 - 1900

Herzlichen Glückwunsch zum Geburtstagdu alter Sack!

This could have been anyone.

Walking through and around Manhattan is fair game this season, taking lives into hands that aren’t God’s, rolling dice with disaster, not faster than bicycles … Feeling constant assault from the terrible noises of sirens, construction, just Too. Many. People.

Walking through, up and down and around my Manhattan has become nothing short of a horror festival.  “Worker killed in Manhattan Construction Accident" … This could have been anyone …

Could’ve been you.
