ara baliozian Posted March 21, 2001 Report Share Posted March 21, 2001 LAST WORDS**************************I have no illusions about my fellow men.I have fewer illusions about my fellow Armenians.A good man is hard to find;a good Armenian is even harder.If I come across one once a yearI feel privileged indeed.I have been writing now for 25 yearsand I can count my friends on the fingers of a one-armed man; but my enemies are legion. Is it because I am a nasty sonofabitch? -- as my detractorslike to say? Or is it because honesty is as popular among us today as it was among the Greeks in the time of Diogenes?

Regardless of the merits of your "last words" essay - it was posted to the wrong section of the forum!Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pilafhead Posted March 26, 2001 Report Share Posted March 26, 2001 Ara, I thought you meant to post it here. Was it a "blunder" or intentional? If intentional, why? I don't mean this in a rude way, but...What would you ever do if you were accepted by fellow Armenians??? Kind of like an abused woman, who cannot accept the advances of a nice man because she is only comfortable in an abusive situation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MJ Posted April 5, 2001 Report Share Posted April 5, 2001 NO GOOD DEED GOES UNPUNISHED*****************************************Also, no good quality: if you are wise, you will be insulted by fools; if you are honest, you will be hounded by charlatans; if you promote tolerance, you will be torn to shreds by bloodthirsty fanatics; and if you are objective, you will be buried alive by chauvinists. Our failings are human failings; so are our problems. All human problems have human solutions. To assert uniqueness in order to underline the unique complexities of our problems has the double demerit of being dishonest and cowardly. Cowardly because it is a symptom of fear: fear of facing facts, and fear of confronting reality.-------------------- ara baliozian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
