And so it is when we lose someone like that, it affects us, just as intimately as we are tied to them through those shared experiences.

Life, can be hard. but living it well, is not that difficult. And in living it well, others are induced, if even a little bit, to live it well either alongside you, or beyond your sight.

The world is beginning to discover just how dangerous it is to misconceive the difference between true genius and what merely appears to be genius. Claiming something as "genius" has been tossed about far too lightly for far too long. All too frequently what we have deemed as "genius" merely appeared to be so. Simply because we did not understand how it came into being while it was not actually the result of genius, To then label someone as genius can lend to them a credibility fully undeserved.

Rather we need to lower intellectualism (or at least appear to do so for them to pay attention and eventually heal with a fealty to it), to the level of those common citizens so they can begin once again to even access it. Only then will we eventually be able to discuss returning as a nation to the noble and valiant efforts we should be involved in of raising our state of intellectualism in a healthy and ongoing manner.

Life can be so mundane that it is easy to forget we are always four degrees of separation away from death. Sometimes, less.

It's good to respect and carry on traditions as they tie us to the past giving us a sense of continuity. Unless they are stupid traditions that should be abandoned, when we then need to make new and better traditions. Especially once they have been shown to be exactly that.

There is nothing more powerful for any single entity, than it's opposite.

I do not object to theists holding their views. Quite the contrary, I support free thought and belief as one finds it. I merely differ with theism just as theists themselves differ among over their own God or Gods. I simply object to those who try to replace science with theism, as their own God gave us science to use in order to protect and support ourselves in this world and beyond.

I find it odd and sadly ironic that those who most fear our government appear to be the same who brought the current reasons for fear of our government to fruition.

Check this out. Literally any stupid crap you post to Facebook or elsewhere online, is immediately legally copyrighted and officially considered a quote when reprinted anywhere else.

Right "wingnuts" are not what you may think. If you know what a wingnut is for a bolt, a "right wingnut" is a merely a person who is missing one of those two wings on the nut... and only has the right one.

Strive to be and do good. To be good not great. Greatness comes from practicing goodness, from doing great good. Not from trying to be great.

Life, and love, hurts. Whenever you try to find ways to make it easier on yourself, try also to find a way to bring someone or someones along with you. Trust me. It will pay off in the long and the short runs. Most importantly for more than just you.

Especially if you ever want my help... don't give me reasons why you can't. Give me reasons how you are going to do.

Politics in one's country should really be a badge of honor and pride and yet nearly world wide, it's far too often simply an embarrassment.
