I’ve never liked people who were “Goody-Goody” because I could never live up to their standards. And that’s the point: why are their standards necessarily better than mine, especially in matters that shouldn’t concern them? If they think I’m naughty, it’s their problem.
*Note to Santa: If you’re nice to me, I’ll be nice to you.
No one’s gonna tell me
What’s wrong or what’s right
Or tell me who to eat with sleep with
Or that I’ve won the big fight
Song by Adam Ant, Goody Two Shoes
Virtue cannot separate itself from reality without becoming a principle of evil.
Quotation from Albert Camus, Moderation and Excess
I make a virtue of my suffering.
Quotation from Robert Frost, New Hampshire
I prefer naughty…
Everyone’s definition of naughty is different. It would help if Santa let us all know what his definition is. I think I would be forever caught in between.
Santa sees us sound asleep
Each is allowed a little Bo peep
Bets all off for short and long,
Yule times time for cheerful song
God, give me chastity and moderation, but not yet.
– St. Augustine
Hey, Santa gives an annual report of naughty activities now? Great! I’m fine with that as a present…. sorta diary
can’t make up my mind which I like more…. your new short black hair or the St Augustine quote
give me the reigns to the reindeers – I’ll be naughty and pay you a visit
wow great post
To thine own self be true ….
Nothing more annoying than the self righteous. They are a curse upon society. It always cracks me up that the more godly or righteous someone THINKS they are the more ungodly they truly are. Is it written in the bible to shun those who cannot dress to your standards for church? Is it written in the bible to ridicule those who’s behavior doesn’t match your own standards? No it isn’t. Pride is still a sin isn’t it? I think these people need to spend a little more time looking for faults in themselves and far less time worrying about others. This is one of the main reasons i do not attend church anymore.
I agree it’s best to be on Santa’s naughty list! So much fun! There’s no fun in being one “Goody-Goody”!
Hehehe and hohoho, just keep being you ,Santas friends will inevitably be your friends – and love and presents will flow regardless of naughty or nice!
