Like armin suggested, your simpleton remark is rather applicable to your whole post(s).I was mostly suggesting that "this whole debacle" was not "caused by the Tea Party and their simpleton views". The significant failure is that we find ourselves in a seemingly inescapable, ever-growing debt, which was caused by decades of ineptitude and poor policy of both Republicans and Democrats. Scapegoating the Tea Party is all too easy and narrow sighted.
This isn't Republicans and Democrats being stupid, this whole debacle was caused by the Tea Party and their simpleton views.speaking of simpleton views...
You didn't read the whole article, did you?cynicism's the surest path to mediocrity.
I like this quote. I encounter a lot of pessimism and cynicism at work, and it ends up unnecessarily stalling progress. Confidence and optimism are an important part of being successful and producing quality work.
Pessimism isnt productive, but people still need to be realistic. Pursue what makes you happy, but you still _must_ investment in commodities and shit. If you don't, you're f'd in the long run.
"towards the lofty goal of being the best in the world at your dream" - only one person in the WHOLE WIDE WORLD is the best at something, and it likely isnt you. Try? Sure. But have back up plans.
Here's what I'm not suggesting: that you impoverish yourself financially to enrich yourself spiritually, intellectually, relationally, and emotionally. Rather, I'm suggesting that the economy as we've built it — and as we choose to live it — might just be doing something like the reverse. Authentic prosperity's probably more about achieving a balance.
It's the burning question many of you have been hurling at me recently: "So instead of idly waiting around for the so-called mysteriously reluctant non-recovering recovery, what should we do to survive this never-ending raging crisis?"
Here's a tiny suggestion. The "best" investment you can make isn't gold. It's the people you love, the dreams you have, and living a life that matters.
Now, some among you will probably roll your eyes and snicker: "Hey, bro, want fries with that hopelessly naive idealism?"
But you're probably willing to entertain the idea that maybe the great systems of human organization, whether political, social, or economic, aren't creating a meaningful prosperity as well as they could. And cynicism's the surest path to mediocrity.
So allow me to explain.
Something has to changeTool - Stinkfist
Undeniable dilemma
Boredom's not a burden
Anyone should bear
Constant over stimulation numbs me
But I would not want you any other way
It's not enough
I need more
Nothing seems to satisfy
I don't want it
I just need it
To breathe, to feel, to know I'm alive
Finger deep within the borderline
Show me that you love me and that we belong together
Relax, turn around and take my hand
I can help you change
Tired moments into pleasure
Say the word and we'll be
Well upon our way
Blend and balance
Pain and comfort
Deep within you
'til you will not want me any other way
It's not enough
I need more
Nothing seems to satisfy
I don't want it
I just need it
To breathe, to feel, to know I'm alive
Knuckle deep inside the borderline
This may hurt a little but it's something you'll get used to
Relax, slip away
Something kinda sad about
the way that things have come to be
Desensitized to everything
What became of subtlety?
How can it mean anything to me
If I really don't feel anything at all?
I'll keep digging 'til
I feel something
Elbow deep inside the borderline
Show me that you love me and that we belong together
Shoulder deep within the borderline
Relax, turn around and take my hand
