    my mother used to say everything was just a saying.

    it is true that the universe isn't personal.
    it isn't about you or me or any one other joe or jane down the street,
    but neither is anything 'just' anything.
    everything is everything that it is.
    and that includes connected to everything else,
    in ways that are more often then not,
    far from obvious, and not unusually
    even far from detectable.

    there are worse things then poverty
    and ignorance is one of them

    and while it is no mere coinsidence
    that they frequently occur in the same time frame
    and as a consequence of the hatred of logic
    they also frequently
    do not occur
    in the same individual person

    it is in the very nature of both terms,
    that there will always be more persons 'in poverty'
    then in 'wealth'
    and often neither
    through any act of will,
    nor of their own choosing.

    the myth that wealth follows intelligence,
    or wisdom alone,
    is a myth with very little real evidence to support.

    in reality many other factors intervene,
    and many of these, very nearly random.

    one can of course improve the odds of happiness,
    but fortune cannot ever be expected
    to take the form
    of material wealth.

    nothing wrong with such fortune,
    should it occur,
    nothing wrong with enjoying it considerately,
    should it happen to come your way,
    but there is no single factor,
    that can alone guarantee
    its doing so.

    When you win, say little. When you lose, say less.

    personification adds nothing to the wonder of strangeness.
    more often it distracts and takes away, diminishes the experience.

    "There comes a time when a man finds himself in front of a dark uncrossable abyss, which he himself has spent years digging. He cannot go forward, and has no way back. Words have failed, tears won't help, and who would he call out to? He can't even remember his own name. Then the man sees that on this god's green earth there is but one true suffering: the torment of guilty conscience."

    It's not how you get knocked down that counts, it's how fast you get up.

    "come predator and prey together,
    lets show the world it can be done,
    play is just another path to spirit,
    come on, evolve, it can be fun,
    it is the dawning of the age of zootopia,
    zoo toa pea ah"

    (to the obvious tune of age of aquarius from hair)

    and the only way to avoid doing so, is the exercise of logic in the service of consideration.
