stormdogA post on Facebook brought one of my favorite expressions from Kurt Vonnegut to mind. (Not that I'm deeply familiar with Vonnegut, I should note.) It's from a hypothetical baptismal speech for twin babies in God Bless You Mr. Rosewater.
“Hello babies. Welcome to Earth. It's hot in the summer and cold in the winter. It's round and wet and crowded. On the outside, babies, you've got a hundred years here. There's only one rule that I know of, babies-"God damn it, you've got to be kind.”
God damn it, you've got to be kind.
