I was having a tough day today, being hard on myself, and when I told a friend, this was her response:
I don’t (and I know you don’t) believe that people are more worthy of respect and kindness because of their size and beauty. Yet when I say to myself “oh, you look fat” I am saying exactly the opposite of what I believe — I’m saying, I do believe that I would be worth more if I were thinner or more attractive. And that is bullshit!
So now I come in with “so what?” It’s a challenge to myself to actually live up to my politics and ideologies and commitments. So what if it were true? What if I really were fat? What on earth would it matter? […]
Anyway. SO WHAT. I’m getting it embroidered on cushions.
Put me down for two of those cushions, my friend. You remind me of the infinite wisdom of friends.
