Saturday evening went okay. Dr. Sister had nice buffer dinner guests. My niece seems to be doing okay.
Things were going okay until I found out they gave money to a Christian organization in my name for a Christmas gift. I guess they preempted what I was reluctant to do in case it worsened our relationship. So much for that. Ive got 12 months to...

Thanks for your comforting comments.
Some coworkers gave me some unexpected gifts a few days ago and it made me reflect on how I have been behaving lately. I have decided that I have become an uncompassionate, self-righteous person myself. Looking back on my journal a few days ago, it looks hateful in part to me now. It made me wonder how do we love...

along similar lines, i've always thought that forgiveness is as beneficial, if not more, for the forgiver as the forgivee. holding a grudge is just emotional baggage.
personally i chalk up "turning the other cheek" to anti-violence (violence as a poor choice, continuing the cycle, etc.). as for loving your persecutors...never really thought about it outside of the "christian thing to do" mentality......no, i don't think you can change them (generally speaking); i would think that those who persecute are pretty far gone anyway. for some reason i always thought of that passage in the religious persecution context. i suppose hate in any context is bad; hate of course being different from anger, doesn't hate beget violence and misdeeds? but then again not-hating is certainly not loving. perhaps we should take pity on their ignorance? a puzzling passage indeed.

My sister has invited me to the annual Spanish Inquisition session on Saturday. For those who care, my sister is older than me and a physician so being arrogant and domineering comes naturally to her. It doesnt help that she married into a pious, self-serving family of doctors and shares the house with doctor hubbys doctor parents while I struggle to make a living.

wow. i feel for you. luckily, my family assumes the best about me, so i don't have to worry much. i'm only starting to realize how conservative parts of my family are. scary. ah well, it's up to the black sheep to corrupt the youngest of the family, right? 
Hello Everyone,
I think I am taking myself too seriously these days and getting irritable in the process. So tomorrow, I am going to see the SpongeBob movie.
Have a good weekend everyone!

I wish I knew more about art. Since you like Caravaggio, I have been researching him on the web. I hope to do the same with the other artists you like.
