Fruits of Labor

I think that it was Abraham Lincoln who said "he who grows the corn should eat the corn."

Whether you are talking about Henny Penny or some unknown farmer/labourer, the idea is the same. We should be able to keep the fruits of our hard work. The idea of wealth re-distribution is not good for society!

the Joker

There is an old idiom "stop pulling my leg!" ...

It seems like everyone is fighting to steal your attention. When they get it they try to get you to buy into their reality.

Domestic Tranquility

I remember the saying "if momma aint happy, aint nobody happy!"

When momma feels the luvin, the home is the happiest place on earth. When momma does the happy dance, there aint no place like home!

Keep it simple?

You have heard the Einstein quote "if you can't explain it to a 6 year old, you don't understand it?" ...

It is abundantly clear that the more complex our world gets, the more pressing our need to keep things simple so that anyone in our audience can understand. Flowery language has a place - funerals.

Questions?

Remember the saying "There is no such thing as a stupid question"? ...

The truth of the matter is that only brilliant (genius) people ask questions. A question asked always ignites epistemic engagement! If YOU don't know the answer, ask someone who does.

In the beginning ...

You have heard it said "In the beginning GOD created the heavens and the earth" ...

Take a good look around yourself, under your feet, above your head. Isn't it awesome that the natural world was designed and created for YOUR pleasure?

Up

You have heard the saying "what goes up, must come down" ...

Maybe that's why when we wake UP in the morning, we must lay DOWN at night!
