talking sh*t

an occasional note from pierre bennu, author of bullsh*t or fertilizer.

the good news exercise.  

5/01/03

If we heard good news we wouldn’t know what to do with it.

If a 86 year old man drove from Philly to NY and made it home safe, that would not be news. But if that person crashed his car into a pickup truck and caused a pile up, then that’s news.

If a family had 2 healthy twins that's not news but if that same family put those children in a garbage bag, it's news.

What the exercise consists of, is you naming 10 good things for every bad thing u see in the news on tv or in the papers.

Go ahead.

(this is a good exercise for relationships, too)
