The soul has greater need of the ideal than the real for it is by the real that we exist, it is by the ideal that we live

being favored

I've just got a minute today but this morning I was driving to work and I saw this car with a vanity plate that said "Godsfav."

I sat at the light looking at this woman and wondered what incredible lack of self-esteem, what damage could have been done to her that she had to tell the world that she's favored, in her estimation, by a mythical being that she's put all her faith in. What prevents her from announcing the she's her own favorite? Or her family's?

What made her think that the rest of us needed to know she was "Godsfav." and what does that say to us? That since she is we're not? That even if we wanted to be we couldn't? Puzzling.

Kinda sad really. Put some esteem into that gaze in the mirror honey it works wonders.
