Thought of the Day - 6/7/10

At the CETC they use a little white towel rolled up and taped at both ends. They have a room with a while wall full of holes. A trainer stands behind the wall with the towels; inside one of the holes is a sample of cocaine or heroin. When the dog detects the scent, he walks up to the hole and the man sticks the towel out – that’s the reward. The dog could care less about finding drugs; all he wants is the towel. That’s all the dog ever does – he spends his whole life searching for that little white towel.


What’s your little white towel?

Thought of the Day - 6/6/10

Why should I feel inferior? I had only learned these revelations myself a few days ago. I should not take responsibility for them. It isn’t about me; it was about my siblings, my parents – about things done to me and not about things I have done myself. None of it changed any essential fact about me – about the woman I am or the things I have managed to accomplish all on my own.


For some reason I still feel that something precious had been taken from me, and the feeling makes me angry and afraid. I hate that feeling – the feeling of being along, of being the only one different.
