Among the passions, anger is by far the cheapest and easiest.

For all humans, it is most useful to have had a calming mother, who soothed them when they were upset, and thereby taught the process of self-calming.  For those of us who lacked this, though, there is always the potential of developing that inner voice independently.  It is difficult, but possible.

If the true Self is a wave function, then the manifest Self is always a potential.  Manifestation is stagnation, however, so potential is the most useful place–rather way of being–for a Self.  This makes it always both true and not true.

Identity politics is the expression of emotional coldness desperately seeking warmth.

True, not true, provisionally both depending on details and context?

A rolling seed will never germinate.

Solitude and loneliness are two different things.

Between InfoWars, Zero Hedge, and The Weekly World News (available in quality grocery checkout aisles everywhere), which do you think Facebook, based on actions it has taken, considers the most reputable?

If you guessed the news source whose Facebook page claims it has “been protecting readers from alien slime since 1979”, you were correct.

Put another way, if you think they are not engaged in censoring opinions they find actually dangerous for whatever reason (with being close to, or at the hidden truth being the best guess) you are dumb.

Why would the FBI be involved in helping the NCAA—which has no legal or governmental standing—prevent recruiting violations?

What sort of country do we live in?

Remember the 6 fat cows and 6 lean cows from the Bible, in the Pharaohs dreams?

While there is plenty, save, so there will be enough in time of want?

Here is what happened nearly everywhere in America, with respect to most pensions, and certainly Social Security, our very poor national pension system: in time of plenty, which is to say when the Boomers were paying in, and only a much smaller generation taking out, the money was spent. With regard to Social Security it was spent on increased benefits which could not be paid for long term, but which got votes in the short term. Those still paying in could not see any sign of this. Those people allowed the money to be taken—as it must by law in most cases—and didnt worry about it.

With regard to State and Municipal pensions, it went all sorts of places.

But net, net, in the six years of plenty all the excess was squandered by vote-hungry politicians on an array of vote-getting proposals, leaving nothing left for the time of want.

In a nutshell, this describes nearly all such problems nationally.
