Forgiving as my nose is....

What a great day at work!  Of course I dont blog about work because of it being social services and confidential most of the time, but what a good day today was.  That's all I will say.

The bus ride home was less satisfying than the day preceeding it.  Well, at first it was great to get on an airconditioned bus (powered by CNG.)  Then came the bus station.  Man, did it smell bad.  Especially at first.  But it was too hot to wait on the connecting bus outside, so I remembered the time I went to the Tabasco plant on Avery Island LA in eighth grade.  I remembered how bad that smelled -- hot vinegar and charred wood barrels I think I will never forget than terrible smell.  Then before we left I could barely smell it anymore.  Same with the bus station.  At first it smelled like... well, it smelled rotten in the most disagreeable.  But I stood there long enough.  I know the smell did not go away.  I just got used to it.

Unfortuantely when I got back out into the fresh air, the fresh air smelled no beter than the air which had previously offended me on the inside of the building.  It wasnt really a yin yang thing is what I am saying.  Not this time.  I guess the nose is forgiving but when it comes to smells the mind does not give you any more pleasant an odor than the absence of what once stank.

Im saying unfortunately life is not about anti-stink.  But some things other than smell are like action and anti action kind of light and dark and yin and yang.  Bright lights dark room  Heavy weight light weight and hot water cold water.  Hot water cold water is similar to smell because it takes a brave person to wait out the difference in the percepption of hot and cold.  At first they feel much the same -- try putting hand in hot then cold water  cold can feel very hot at first.  Weird huh?

Lets work together in the world at large and try to be as forgiving as my nose is.  Except for you politicans.  You all just do your statistics thing and argue about what percent of the population thinks your garbage actually smells good.  There's no geting used to political stink.  If lies and propaganda smelled bad, what country would smell the worst?
