Achtung!

“a flat, dull, or trite remark, esp. one uttered as if it were fresh or profound; the quality or state of being flat, dull, or trite.”

“…but as often is the case with platitudes, it’s true.”

SHAME
ON
YOU

You know very well that platitudes -by definition- have no ties to the real world. If I were a nun you’d have felt the wrath of a ruler by now.

Nice post, though.

I have to admit that this can be a touchy subject depending on whom I’m speaking with about it since people tend to call me crazy a lot. The thing is I don’t see myself as crazy. Maybe I am if trying to have fun and enjoy life is considered crazy. I just don’t feel like I should live my life the way others think it should be lived. If I want to do something “off the wall” and then laugh about how ridiculous it was later then so be it.

Stephen -

I think this brings up the point made by the artist Seal in his song “Crazy”.

“We’re never going to survive unless….. we get a little bit crazy.”

That’s how Darren and I make it through that crazy place we call working at the med school.
