O Amos Oz

Acerta em cheio na solução para muita merda:

"No one is immune to fanaticism. If you promise me to take the following with a big grain of salt, I will tell you that at least in principle I have the remedy for fanaticism and this remedy is sense of humor. I have never seen a fanatic with a sense of humor. A fanatic, as I said, is a walking exclamation mark. He will change you and if he cannot change you, he will kill you for your own good. It is good for you.

But sense of humor is the ability to laugh at ourselves, to make fun of ourselves, to see ourselves as the other may see us. I am not a religious person but if I were a religious person, if I believed in a Messiah, I will say the Messiah will come laughing and telling jokes and He will teach all of us how to laugh at ourselves. Once we laugh at ourselves we are immune to fanaticism and yes, ready for a compromise"

Vale a pena ler tudo.

( E lembro-me desta esta cena dos Monty Python http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LQqq3e03EBQ que revi ha uns tempos e que acho que não fica aqui mal)
