Aunty Acid by Ged Backland for June 14, 2021

Watch your behind, because that’s where they’re coming from.

That’s an impressive chain of causation. Five links long in a single panel.

Aunty quoting Lao Tzu? Who’d have thought?

Anybody seen my glasses?

And you expect we should follow this sage advice, Aunty, while you watch…Netflix?! :D

And what’s your destiny, Aunty?

watch your destiny for it becomes your cross to bear…

“Destiny is no matter of chance. It is a matter of choice. It is not a thing to be waited for, it is a thing to be achieved.” William Jennings Bryan

“A person often meets his destiny on the road he took to avoid it.” Jean de La Fontaine

“Control your own destiny or someone else will.” Jack Welch

“You control your future, your destiny. What you think about comes about. By recording your dreams and goals on paper, you set in motion the process of becoming the person you most want to be. Put your future in good hands – your own.” Mark Victor Hansen

“Sow an act and you reap a habit. Sow a habit and you reap a character. Sow a character and you reap a destiny.” Charles Reade

Never mind what she is saying, she is preaching, and shrilly.

HELLUVA way to start a Monday morning. . .Was it Charlie Brown or Lucy who proclaimed that your character is fully formed by the time you’re 5? Didn’t Paul Anka sing a song, proclaiming “YOU are my destiny”???

Destiny becomes you, Auntie.

There’s also the Terminator’s “No Fate but What We Make” though Skynet seems to keep happening regardless of Sarah and co’s actions.

This should be credited to Ralph Waldo Emerson. As should any quote IMO…

Many people avoid thinking altogether so they never have to worry about consequences..
