Life (According to House)

I've learned a lot of really important things from House..... I just felt as if the world would be a better place if I shared them. And by 'better' I mean... well, yes, better.

There’s an evolutionary imperative why we give a crap about our family and friends. And there’s an evolutionary imperative why we don’t give a crap about anybody else. If we loved all people indiscriminately, we couldn’t function.

Season 2, Episode 4, “TB or not TB”. Lesson #12.

I think Cameron would beg to differ.

I almost feel as if, my style revolving around putting words over pictures, this is more of a “hipster house” blog than anything. I will file this under ‘things to be considered, but not really.’

And also, that blog already exists: http://hipsterhouse.tumblr.com/

Life Lesson #10. House MD, #2.24- No Reason

HIV testing is 99% accurate, which means there are some people who test positive who live with their own impending doom for months or years before finding out everything is okay. Weirdly, most of them don’t react with happiness or even anger - they get depressed. Not because they wanted to die but because they’ve defined themselves by their disease. Suddenly, what made them, them, isn’t real.

#103 Occam’s Razor

Our bodies break down, sometimes when we’re 90, sometimes before we’re even born, but it always happens and there’s never any dignity in it. I don’t care if you can walk, see, wipe your own ass. It’s always ugly. Always. You can live with dignity, we can’t die with it.
