I was discussing that grass situation at the golf course with a very smart guy. He said--dad, just because you think you are right doesn't make it right; others might be right and you might be wrong. Could be! Sooooo what I think is right, isn't necessarily right. ItchieBitchie says--You have five folk and they might all have different thoughts as to what is right. And they probably are all right in their minds. Probably! Could be Yabut ItchieBitchie, it seems to appear that some folks' "right" seems to hold up in history better than other folks' right on a regular bases. History seems to prove this. Such is life.
We hardly find any persons of good sense save those who agree with us. ~Francois de La Rochefoucauld (1613-1680)~
CadillacJack says--You can tell the caliber of the mind of a person by the questions that they ask. I ask some pretty strange questions sooooo don't expect much in this "It's Saturday". BUT my Daddy, Chester, would say, erv, ask questions; it's the easiest way to learn and the least expensive (i.e. learn from someone else's mistakes and wisdom). If you ask, you may not get the answer, but if you never ask, you definitely won't. JoeBlow says--Don't ask a question if you don't want to hear an answer that you don't want to hear.
The very important folks and very smart folks and very successful folks that I'm around seem to ask a lot of questions. That is how they learn (i.e. it's their character). They always ask questions of others (i.e. 80% of the conversation should be about others them and 20% about you). Many folks don't like to ask questions 'casue they know they won't like the answer! Ouchy ouchy? MissPerfect says--They probably know the answer before they ask.
The question of guilty or innocent! Dating back to the Roman Empire, one of the hallmarks of jurisprudence in America and other nations is the presumption of innocence. That is, a defendant is presumed to be innocent until he is proven guilty. As the Romans put it, "The burden of proof is on he who declares, not on he who denies." Presumption in this case protects individual rights. LuckieEddie says--but in the spiritual realm presumption is not advised.
When using Roberts Rules of Order, when someone calls for a question it means they want a vote. In most cases the majority wins. I think it is interesting that discussion can go on (i.e. sometimes meaningless discussion if not controlled by good moderator) for ever and then the vote. The vote maybe won by one vote or maybe a couple. It's a done deal. Maybe not the right decision but the majority wins. The 49% don't agree but that is the way it is folks. I have been on both sides of the vote. Who knows if I'm right or wrong but I think I'm right!!!!. It doesn't always seem like it's fair but.... Such is life.
Question about the best pig! It's that time of the year. Yup, it's Butler Co Fair week (i.e. the only thing that's fair in this world is the Butler Co Fair). Sooooo when they judge the pigs, do they always pick the best pig? I wonder. How about the best gal for the Butler Co Queen? Do they always get the best one? I wonder. Or who's pie is the best. Come on now, it's very speculative isn't it. Sure it is. Many times it's a WAG (i.e. wild ass guess). In some cases it depends who the judges are and in some cases the judges show favoritism for different reasons (i.e. it's not like a foot race that the winner is the the one who finishes first). That's why recognition for the best isn't always such a good deal (e.g. picking the best teacher of the school). In some cases it might depend if the recipient drinks beer with the judges or maybe an influential person really pushes one person or maybe who the judges are (i.e. if they like a certain person better than another 'cause they know them better and maybe it isn't all about their qualities). Maybe if you pick different judges you might get a different "best". I'm sure the "best" might be good but not necessarily always the best (i.e. there are a lot of good pigs that all look pretty good). Soooooo folks, if you aren't picked to be the best, that is okay. And not everyone wants recognition; I realize that. And you might be way better that the one who the judges pick to be the best. Don't worry about it, just continue doing good stuff. You are good folks. Very good folks. And remember, the only thing that is fair is the Butler Co Fair and it's going on this week! Such is life.
The question is--was it a God thing or just a stroke of luck? It appears to be something that just fell in their lap (i.e. rather unexpectedly). Something that just might affect this young person the rest of their life. This thing that happened to this person might be the catalyst that will make them a dynamic person. A piece of confidence that will never be taken away. Will always be remembered and cherished and will part of their mind set (i.e. it will be something that will help program their future and their life). I wish everyone could have such an experience. It will be very interesting to see this person grow up and see if my thinking is correct. I have had a couple of these experiences in my early life and they have been a massive huge positives for me. Why they happened to me, I have no idea. They just sorta kinda fell in my lap. Just sorta kinda like this event in this teenager's life.
Do you ever question if you are doing the right thing? I have many times. Sometimes I just don't know. Sometimes I think I know but I really don't. And sometimes I just guess right (i.e. sometimes it seems like I'm just really lucky). JoeBlow made one small bad choice which led to to an even worse bad choice, which led to many more poor choices. Sooooo JoeBlow, don't make that first poor choice! Ouchy ouchy!
Question--what's at your front door today? I mean, what are you dealing with right now in your life (i.e. at your front door)? Is it something disturbing, something really exciting, a dilemma, an opportunity, a problem, or what? Soooo how are you dealing with it? Are you thinking clearly? Are you thinking wisely? Who are you seeking your advice from? I read while eating my oatmeal with half a banana on it--Ask for wisdom and it will be given to you!
What do women really want? That is the question. Young King Arthur was ambushed and imprisoned by the monarch of a neighboring kingdom. The monarch could have killed him but was moved by Arthur's youth and ideals. So the monarch offered him freedom, as long as he could answer a very difficult question. Arthur would have a year to figure out the answer; if after a year, he still had no answer, he would be put to death. The question: What do women really want? Such a question would perplex even the most knowledgeable man, and to young Arthur, it seemed an impossible query. But since it was better than death, he accepted the monarch's proposition to have an answer by year's end. He returned to his kingdom and began to poll everybody: the princess, the priests, the wise men, the court jester. He spoke with everyone, but no one could give him a satisfactory answer. Many people advised him to consult the old witch, only she would know the answer. The price would be high; the witch was famous throughout the kingdom for the exorbitant prices she charged. The last day of the year arrived and Arthur had no alternative but to talk to the witch. She agreed to answer his question, but he'd have to accept her price first: The old witch wanted to marry Gawain, the most noble of the Knights of the Round Table and Arthur's closest friend! Young Arthur was horrified. She was hunchbacked and hideous, had only one tooth, smelled like sewage, made obscene noises, etc. He had never encountered such a repugnant creature. He refused to force his friend to marry her and have to endure such a burden. Gawain, upon learning of the proposal, spoke with Arthur. He told him that nothing was too big a sacrifice compared to Arthur's life and the preservation of the Round Table. Hence, their wedding was proclaimed, and the witch answered Arthur's question thus: What a woman really wants is to be in charge of her own life. Everyone instantly knew that the witch had uttered a great truth and that Arthur's life would be spared. And so it was. The neighboring monarch granted Arthur total freedom. What a wedding Gawain and the witch had! Arthur was torn between relief and anguish. Gawain was proper as always, gentle and courteous. The old witch put her worst manners on display, and generally made everyone very uncomfortable. The honeymoon hour approached. Gawain, steeling himself for a horrific experience, entered the bedroom. But what a sight awaited him! The most beautiful woman he'd ever seen lay before him! The astounded Gawain asked what had happened. The beauty replied that since he had been so kind to her when she'd appeared as a witch, she would henceforth be her horrible, deformed self half the time, and the other half, she would be her beautiful maiden self. Which would he want her to be during the day, and which during the night? What a cruel question! Gawain pondered his predicament. During the day, a beautiful woman to show off to his friends, but at night, in the privacy of his home, an old witch? Or would he prefer having by day a hideous witch, but by night a beautiful woman with whom to enjoy many intimate moments? What would you do? What Gawain chose follows below, but don't read it until you've made your own choice. Make YOUR choice BEFORE you read Gawain's answer! Noble Gawain replied that he would let her choose for herself. Upon hearing this, she announced that she would be beautiful all the time because he had respected her enough to let her be in charge of her own life. What is the moral of this story? The moral is: If your woman doesn't get her own way, things are going to get ugly!
