"If you aren't in need of charity,
then you're rich enough to be charitable."
one thing that i've kept from english through hs was this.
a piece of writing from the 1st place winner of a writing contest.
its really nicely written, and it touches upon great ideas.
here it is:
Why study the arts and humanities?
by Sasha Boczkowski
Because, that's why.
Because a man downtown, with a voice like the sea against rocks told me I should.
Because my mother told me not to. Because she said mathematics, female engineering - engineering female. Because she spends so many nights in paperwork, dreaming herself into fairy tales.
Because of the bruises etched into a Grade 4 spelling partner's cheer each week by a father.
Because television sets are alive and sucking patience out of brains like electric leeches. And it could take hours to perfect this sentence.
Because the average Canuck consumes 140 percent the caloric intake required ina day.
Because KKK.
Because Chagall's 'Self-Portrait with Seven Fingers' did not quite make it into the Saturday morning comics.
Because Adolf Hitler and Stalin, are the only two I've learned about.
Because it's been scientifically proven that listening to Mozart sonatas improved bad hearing.
Because the Burmese government is carbonated in every can of Pepsi Cola.
Because east Timor is on channel 3, and my brother is watching The Simpsons.
Because painters did not build atomic bombs. Because poems dissect them.
Because advertisement agencies are calling themselves creative. (heeeyyy..)
Because a beautiful woman is a dress size and a breast size, and no longer compared to a summer's day.
Because no one's homophobic, but a lot of people stared when a girl kisses a girl goodnight at the bus stop.
Because sometimes even starving artists like to eat dinner.
Because time spent with family is marked between 6 and 7 o'clock, in daily agenda.
Because Picasso would tell you that skyscrapers do not quite equal the beauty of all the daffodils they have swallowed.
Because two boys in a coffee shop carried ou a complete conversation, and said nothing.
Because I don't know whether I'll be clubbed for saying Black People if I should have said African Americans.
Because the government runs on monotone thought.
Because a successfully cloned sheep.
Because.
Because sometimes you see yourself more clearly in the characters you are writing, than when you look in the mirror.
Because ulcers are nibbling away on stomachs everywhere.
Because graffiti is getting a little bit repetitive.
Because I'd rather be short than vertically challenged.
And if that's not quite enough...
Then because I can write these things to you, and go to math class tomorrow, and pretend that they weren't written for myself.
