11.9.2-24 – did as the man said –

did as the man said –
one does what one is, then one
becomes what one does

It was the Austrian writer, Robert Musil, who said:

One does what one is; one becomes what one does

A lot of people have been explaining to how they voted in the last election.

They didn’t agree with the guy.

They felt the guy was less than perfect or maybe imperfect.

That other lady had so many things wrong with her (this is one that threw me as why did it count against her and not against him?).

But I don’t agree in this case.

I felt that the guy, regardless of any benefits, was unfit for office.

And I could not bend my mind or my standards enough to allow myself to consider voting for him.

A lot of people have tried to explain to me that that was how they voted but it wasn’t who they were.

I couldn’t get there.

You had to get on his train and go where the train was going.

I feel sorry for those people who think otherwise.

You see, one does what one is.

And one becomes what one does.

I hope you can live with yourself.
