on Pithy Proverbs

From my Good Earth tea bag:

“A drowning man is not troubled by rain.” — Persian proverb

Thoughts:

  1. The person who came up with this obviously was not a student. The little assignments are still bugging me despite my efforts toward a 15-page research paper, thank you very much.
  2. I should probably not keep this piece of wisdom in mind when I move to Seattle in the fall. (In related news, my uncle tells me that Seattle is the suicide capital of the world.)
