Those who are accommodating always have to accommodate those who aren’t.
As of late, I feel as though I have been detached. I am still doing what I did before, but there is no belonging, just being. I am not an integral part, an integrated part, or a part. I am just apart.

Your silent praise stinks because when you are displeased, you say so.
How do I deal with your lies and deception? By confronting your lies, I am lending credence where none exists. But, buy not addressing your deception, you have established the battlefield upon which I must fight. It is your turf and you have already fortified your position. However, if I choose to not fight you, then you have won the first round and quite possibly the war.

An honest question puts its asker at a distinct disadvantage for two reasons. The first reason is that no question can be asked without revealing something about the one asking and revealing something about what the one asking knows. The second reason is that it alerts the one being asked. The one asked can then formulate a response followed by a plan.
Why is it that people feel most alive when they are killing themselves the fastest?
The only ones with a shorter memory than the public is the politician.
I have to smile when I hear about how the Chicago newspapers are dealing with a bill in the state legislature. The pending bill would require that all text books used in the public schools be available to the public (Remember? Those are the people paying for the books, the schools, the teachers’ salaries, and it is their kids in the schools!) The press is calling this request for openness “censorship”. And I guess they must be right. After all, why let parents know what their children are being taught. It is no wonder that students keep getting dumber.
I find it ironic that politicians, administrators, and teachers know what is best for someone else’s kids.
Those fighting to stay in control are incapable of learning directions.
If schools were more interested in teaching than in distributing condoms, preaching dogma, preaching evolution, encouraging fornication, eliminating God, facilitating homosexual and lesbian recruitment, and abasing morality; then they would be better able to produce functional graduates. However, I realize that to focus on producing functional graduates, who don’t need to be taught math or English before being hired, would take away from their primary purpose.
That is not the point, it’s the past.
I have not changed anything about me. It is just no longer to your advantage to continue lying about me.
Deception requires constant effort in order for it to keep from being unraveled.

Those most frivolous are fluent in frivolity.
I started reading an article written by a college professor about how highlighters are making students dumber. He was espousing the benefits of understanding text. I had to stop reading the article because I couldn’t find my highlighter.
I am surprised this professor didn’t draw a similar conclusion between the printing press and dumber students. Afterall, if the students had to handwrite their own text books, just imagine how much more they would be able to retain. Never mind that it would take a few more years to write one book. They would sure know a lot more of what is in the book when they were finished.
I wonder if this professor used a quill pen or a typewriter to write his article?

The “scientific” community is rather aboriginal in its thinking. They only adhere to “scientific principles” when their cause is furthered.

It takes much more faith to believe in evolution than it does to believe in creation.
Occasionally, ignorance is actually right.
Women
As a breed, they are strange indeed. When they tell you what they want, don’t just listen with your ears or you will end up in trouble. Women don’t always know what they want, so when they say what they want, they confuse those who only listen to their words.
When a woman tells you what she wants, you’re in double trouble. First, you are in trouble because she had to tell you what she wants. Second, you are in trouble if you give her what she said she wanted because that isn’t what she really wanted.

Please don’t help me anymore. I don’t have the time to help you help me.
It isn’t that I don’t believe you when you say that you need me. It’s just that you need me for everything. When the cat dies, when there is a bug on the wall, a plant growing, the baby gets diaper rash, or when you have the squirts. Every need is genuine to you, but I am finite and have to decide for you what needs are important.

Chess
Life is a chess game, in which you are the key. The game has not changed throughout time. There is the white team and the black team; light and darkness.
You play an integral part because the game is played for you. You are both a participant and the prize. You have the choice to decide which side you want to be on. Although everyone starts on the black side, you don’t have to stay there.
The strategies are complex and well though out. The goal is often clouded by the flurry of activity at hand. However, this busyness is an effective ploy used by the black team captain. What he gives cannot be kept and his only intent is to be sure that you die and share in his darkness.
However, the white team can be joined at any time before the game is over. Joining the white team means that the brunt of the black team will come to bear against you. Yet the white team captain is for you. He gives you detailed instructions on how to play the game to win. He also gives you a Helper to guide you through each move that you make.
The chess game does come to an end. If you are on the black team at the end, you will already have had your reward in life. Then you will join the dark captain in eternal darkness. However, if you are on the white team at the end, you will the receive your reward. You will become a co-heir and enter into light forever.
Perfection is preceded by praise.
It was never favored by you and therefore never received your favor.
Those who raise a stink usually end up with some of the smell on them.
People who are susceptible to scams only have themselves to blame. They are susceptible because they believe that a deal too good to be true (the first tip off) will be offered to them by a total stranger (When is the last time even a friend did as much for them?) because they were chosen by random (When did they last win anything?).
The flawed thinking of people makes them susceptible to scams. They believe that a total stranger wants to offer them something for nothing.

I find it peculiar that you get promoted and then I end up having to do the work that you were unable to do. That work is in addition to the work that I already have to do.

The average worker is the fulcrum in the balance between business and government (be it capitalism, socialism, or communism). The worker bears the weight of both, because neither business nor government would exist without the worker. Yes both business and government have turned the tables on the worker and have convinced him (we’ll talk about her later) that they exist to benefit him. As long as the worker believes that, businesses and government get bigger and take more from the worker and giving less back.

After regaining my composure sufficiently, I uncovered the phone mouth piece and told her that she would be collecting eggs, not shooting them.
