July 27, 2004Pray For It
I forgot to include an amusing little conversation that was overheard in the Seattle hostel. During breakfast Ant and I sat near a motley group of people. There were some younger deep types and then an old hippy sitting nearby. The younger people were discussing what they were up to for the day and the older man asked them what they were up to. They proceeded to have a conversation about how evil "the man" is and basically deep ideas. It all concluded with the hippy asking the younger ones to church. Two people accepted but when the hippy asked the black guy who was sitting there, he said "No man, you know, I can't go that far." The hippy replied, "I will pray for you then." The black guy replied "Yeah, I will pray for you too. I will pray for your big toe." HUH? Comments
So many things are wrong with that conversation I don't even know where to begin. First of all it does not even make sense, as you have already pointed out. 2nd I am shocked that people still use the phrase "the man" - I mean really, stop blaming others are start looking at your own life choices. No invisible "man" is holding these people back - they are! Also since when do hippies go to chruch? I don't know why I felt compelled to write this but I did. In all I did find it amusing and had I been there I would have been making fun at those people the whole time. Thanks for the story Claudia.
