Politicians are the same all over.
They promise to build a bridge even where there is no river.

I hope to participate in threads like this one till the day I die - if I live that long.

(With apologies to 'The Quiet Man' for paraphrasing a comment in this amusing film.)

Instead of holding on to the Biblical view that we are made in the image of God, we come to realize that we are made in the image of the monkey.

'A world of certainty and inner assurance has its advantages but tends to cultivate a superficial glow of self-satisfaction, often leading to a rush to judgment of those whose lives are more precarious and less assured'.

I'm not too concerned that I forget the name of the smug smartass who composed this glossy set of ideas. And if anyone knows the answer, don't bother to inform me. I'm in a 'couldn't care less' mood today.

Avoid smiling at a Crocodile before cleaning your teeth. Crocodiles dislike bad breath.

Personal experience - you understand.

A few Managing Directors, now behind bars, didn’t mind domesticating/nicking the company profits.

Something to think about....

Avoid the bad habit of domesticating the prophet of your choice, turning him into a cheerleader for your way of thinking and way of life.
Remember that all the great prophets were courageous and outrageous folks who railed against the powers-that-be, challenged self-satisfied piosity, threatened the prevailing social order, and would find you falling short in some significant ways
