You can react like Neil Peart, and feel your pain, go through your trials, and write beautiful poetry to music that frankly, honestly, and forthrightly states the case of the human condition as we know it, and then get on about the business of making the most of it.
You can act like Neil at 4Simpsons and be all put-upon that people ask questions about the problem of suffering, and shrug it off like a rhetorical cheap trick...smugly deciding if their MOTIVE is worthy of your effort to trot out your hollow platitudes. You wouldn't want to waste your time relating your unconvincing arguments on people who are difficult to convince, after all. I mean, JESUS may have sown his seeds on hard and fertile ground alike...but YOU...well, you've got IMPORTANT stuff to do.
Or you can do like this guy, and whine and pout about how everyone is out to get you...and even when it turns out that the person who caused the suffering is ONE OF YOU, turn it into an excuse to indulge in your little persecution fetisch. |
