simessence replied to your quote “Wish in one hand, shit in the other. See which one fills up first.”
could you explain this for me? i sort of get it but i don't understand it completely
Wishes have no substance. They are pretty words and ideas, but that is all. You could wish all day that there was no such thing as racism, but wishing will not make it go away. Getting rid of racism will take effort and action - wishing won't get the job done. You could wish all day that you could win the lottery. All those wishes won't get you that jackpot. You have to go out and buy that ticket. If you fill one hand with wishes, you have a hand full of nothing. If you crap in the other hand, you have a handful of crap. Disgusting as it is, crap has more substance than wishes.
I had a lot more to say, but tumblr ate my post. So this is all you are getting.
