A positive experience

I'm surfacing for the first time in weeks, with an observation.

We, speakers of the English language, don't have many ways to express the idea of "experience" in the positive sense.

You can "experience" something.. which is kind of neutral. Or you can "enjoy" something.. but "enjoy" is not as rich as "experience." And that's about it.

On the other hand, you can:
Endure
Go through
Live through
Stomach
Suffer
Tolerate
Survive
Undergo
Bear
Weather
Withstand

I would go on, but it's a really long list.

I'm not sure if this says something important about life, or about us. Philosophers and scholars could probably debate that for hours. But my hunch is that the only people with real insight are those who have had wedding photos taken.

Something by somebody else

Following my rich tradition of posting links to other things written by other people when I don't have a post of my own... here is a neat something about adultery.

"What's neat about adultery!?" you are likely saying.

This is. Sheesh! Don't you people read?

Really, the neat thing about this essay on adultery has little to do with adultery. It's good for that as well, I'm sure. But the iMonk throws some nicely-worded perspective on the more heady topics of "God" and "Love" that you're not going to find just banging blindly around the blogosphere. So.. enter Punchworthy. Conduit to The Coolness. You may thank me later.

Bumping the thread

Hey all you out there in bloggerland... go here.

Hopefully, once the webstats for that page make it to network news headquarters, they'll realize someone cares about the story. Maybe all the hostages will even still be alive by the time people find out about them!

If you like, maybe even post a link to the story, or the video, on your own blog. I wonder if this is up on youtube yet..? I'll check later, once the servers are up again.

Yeah. I know. They're just one little drop in a whole big ol' bucket of injustice. But isn't everybody? They're just a drop that was brought, specifically, to my attention.

So I'm bumping the thread.
