Great quote! Fits well with the point I was making in my Moving beyond certainty post last week. Easier to be confident not only if you don’t have the mental capacity to bother taking in all the facts, but also if all you worry about on an issue is how it affects you. Stephen Colbert’s introduction of truthiness (something is true because I feel it is so) also suits the misplaced confidence problem. http://4dframework.ca/2014/11/08/moving-beyond-certainty-nablopomo-day-7/

I read Bukowski the way some read the bible. His poetry provides me infinite comfort… Not sure Buk goes with the image though. 😉
