But only if you don't have a problem with the F-word. Because the essay is loaded with them.

"The Subtle Art of Not Giving a Fuc_" applies to many of our worries here.

Yes.

Great essay. I loved it. I always give a fuck to much so it's nice to remember that.

Nice. Thanks for sharing.

I am so tempted to send this on to someone who I recently had an "encounter" with over the use of swear words but his religiousity would not allow him to get past the first few sentences.

Sad. So many people do not get the fact that when they let someone decide for them what is okay and not okay to read that censoring by others is plain FUCKED-UP BIG TIME.

Let's see. Ummmm. Someone told me that the BofM has so much killing in it that it made them get nauseated. Man, I'm going to stay away from it. Oh, and I heard that the Koran's style of writing is really quite poetic and beautiful to read, but that it says quite a few times that the infidels must die. Not going to read that. I heard too, that that Mickey Mouse fellow actually kisses Minnie Mouse, so not going to let my sweet grandchildren watch such behavior.

OH MY GOD, sums censoring up nicely.

Mormonism requires its believers to give fucks about so many trivial things. And it probably appeals to those who, by nature, are inclined to give fucks about a pile of trivialities. Sometimes, though, we exmos just trade Mormonism's trivialities for other trivialities.

Here's another way of looking at it: http://markmanson.net/your-two-minds

It's kind of a step-by-step guide to not giving a fuck.

Love that. I agree so much even though it took a half a lifetime to figure that out. Now I "reserve my fucks for the most fuckworthy situations," as he said. The more you do that, the easier it is not to give a fuck about things and people that are just not worth giving a fuck about.
