in thoughts...

Helen Fielding is good.. writer of Bridget Jones's Diary by the way - which i've yet to read or watch. next on my list, yeah.

***
some words to think about from a character called Prof Widgett:
'Your integrity - that's the fly in the ointment,'he rasped. 'That's why you're a good spy. People trust you, which means you can betray them.'
'I don't feel good,'[Olivia] said.
'Bloody good thing too,' he said. 'Never feel good. The corruption of the good by the belief in their own infallible goodness is the most bloody dangerous human pitfall. Once you have conquered all your sins, pride is the one which will conquer you. A man starts off deciding he is a good man because he makes good decisions. Next thing, he's convinced that whatever decision he makes must be good because he's a good man. So you've got Bin Laden hitting the Twin Towers and Tony Blair invading Baghdad. Most of the wars in the world are caused by people who think they have God on their side. Always stick with people who know they are flawed and ridiculous.'

I'm liking this book more and more.

in case you're wondering why he talks about Blair and Baghdad but doesn't say anything about Bush, it's cos the character's based in Britain, not US. I'm not gonna comment on Bush. Pahf.
