Thoughts to
ponder on a lazy weekend afternoon…...from a Pizzaonian perspective
Pizzaonius asks? “Can an expert and very talented dilettante still be considered a dilettante?”
..............
Pizzaonius asks? "Can a procrastinator who never delays procrastinating still be considered a procrastinator?"
…………..
Why is it the one thing all humans have in common – they are born, and they will die, has not developed more empathy between different cultures and religions?
…………..
Worth repeating “.ideological myopia- a failure to realize compromising a little beats staying stuck in the present path.” Carmen Nobel Yet, we never seem to learn.

“In every person the grain of sand buried deep inside their soul makes the pearl” Pizzaonius
…………..
There seems to be three groups of people in each society – the fanatics on the right, the fanatics on the left, and all the normal people in the middle. You don’t have to spend too much time thinking about who runs the show. The question is always, why?
When
marketing and advertising are the most important products your society produces,
the inevitable result is the message becomes more important than the products
being marketed.
…………..
Individualism is a double-edged sword. It is necessary for each person to know who they are. The question is “what do they do with that knowledge once it is realized?” If they continue to focus exclusively on themselves and self-aggrandizement the community they live in will suffer. If the community that spawns the individual is not honored and nurtured, it will eventually be destroyed.
History shows us this is the way of all empires.
…………..
It is vital and necessary for free-market economies to grow. The question that has to be answered is how. For growth to occur, the status quo must change and continually evolve into something new - even if it is not ready to do so. The unanswered question: “Is there a point when this becomes self-destructive?” Unfortunately, you only know the answer after the fact and not before.
And finally … A funny thing happened on the way to Utopia.
Have you noticed how conservatives preach “do not spend” or "let's cut the deficit now” or “you must live within your means” – you get the idea?
Have you also noticed how they become the biggest spenders in the house? Just check out what is happening in Great Britain under their conservative majority.
As I recall reading your history, Ronald Reagan left the biggest deficit of any president whom he preceded. Nice work if you can get away with it, and they certainly do.
