Out of anything for god


Dogma of the faithful :
"I suppose it could be argued that if one is doing something out of spite for God, and not merely out of ignorance, it’s a manifestation of desperation or mental illness, and one is therefore not fully responsible."

Dogma of the atheist :
"I suppose it could be argued that if one is doing something out of love for god, and not merely out of ignorance, it’s a manifestation of desperation or mental illness, and one is therefore not fully responsible."

Coordinating theory (?) :
"I suppose it could be argued that if one is doing something out of anything for any god, and not merely out of ignorance, it’s a manifestation of desperation or mental illness, and one is therefore not fully responsible."

TEHRAN, Iran — Iran on Monday opened a conference on the Holocaust, saying it would not be an attempt to deny the World War II genocide but merely to discuss it in an unrestricted atmosphere.

Modesty is our middle name


A man from a promotion team makes polaroid pictures of people walking by. An orthodox jewish mother passes, four toddlers around her and one in the buggy. The man gives her the picture he just took from one of her kids.

I understand from her gestures that she wants pictures of her other kids too.



A priest asks the barber who just did his hair how much he has to pay. The barber answers "Nothing father, I don't ask money from clergymen." The next day the priest sends the barber a golden cross as thanks. A few days later a rabbi walks in and has his hair cut. The barber answers in the same manner to the question as how much it should cost. A few days later the rabbi sends four other rabbis.

Voor haar


Zij verstaat de kunst van bij me horen
In mijn lichaam heeft ze plaats gemaakt voor twee
In mijn ogen woont ze, in mijn oren
Ze hoort en ziet mijn hele leven met me mee
Soms begint ze in mijn hart te zingen
Waar het nacht wordt heeft ze lichtjes aangedaan
En door haar weet ik dan door te dringen
Tot de onvermoede schat van ons bestaan

Zo alleen maar wil ik verder leven
Schuilend bij elkaar
En als ik oud moet worden, dan alleen met haar

Zij kent al mijn dromen en mijn wanen
Al mijn haast en al mijn hoon en mijn spijt
Als ik lach kent zij alleen de tranen
Die daar achter liggen in de tijd

Zo alleen maar wil ik verder leven
Schuilend bij elkaar
En als ik oud moet worden, dan alleen met haar
Zij is meer dan deze woorden zeggen
In mijn lichaam heeft ze plaats gemaakt voor twee
Maar wie weet een wonder uit te leggen
En een wonder draag ik met me mee

Ma belle amie


Ma belle amie
You were a child of the sun
And the sky and the deep blue sea
Ma belle amie
Apres tous les beaux jours
Je te dis merci merci
You were the answer of all my questions
Before we're through
I want to tell you that I adore you
And always do
That you amaze me by leaving me now
And start a-new
Ma belle amie I'm in love with you

Let the bells ring
Let the birds sing
Let's all give my substitute a big cheer
Let the bells ring
Let the birds sing
For the man after him waits here
For the man after him waits here

Ma belle amie
You were a child of the sun
And the sky and the deep blue sea
Ma belle amie
There was a time that you thought
That your only friend was me
You were the answer of all my questions
Before we're through
I want to tell you that I adore you
And always do
That you amaze me by leaving me now
And start a-new
Ma belle amie I'm in love with you

Holocaust survivors, second generation (13)


My cousin called.

He found out about my accident and wanted to know how I am doing.

We lost contact shortly after an unpleasant phone call I had with his mother. He told me that she had broken her hip (or something) some time ago and that she was recovering well. He kept on speaking about her as if he wanted to pull out from me expressions of sadness about her situation. I noticed by myself how little I cared.

Finally as a sort of exchange to do him a favour (because he showed interest in my situation) I asked how she was doing and wished him the best for his mother (I couldn’t bring myself to tell him to wish her my best). We finished our conversation and he told me that he would call me again soon, and I knew he wouldn’t.

It seems we both inherited our mothers’ talent to communicate and converse in silence.
