It seemed so common-sense in the past, but maybe now it is downright uncommon. Not only are
the commies unwilling to listen to logic, reason, and evidence; they also ignore history. After
all, if you wanted to prevent slavery, then you would keep it in the history books so as to
learn from it. What was that quote? "Those who do not learn from history are doomed to repeat
it." The cancel culture wants to topple statues, but while doing it, are seeking to cut off
the links from the past that would enable those in the present to avoid the mistakes of the
past. It was once so ingrained in the psyche that it became common-sense. Alas, even common sense
is in disrepute amongst the wokesters.
I'm trying to develop the habit of relating and assimilating the success principles in the book
called "Success Through A Postive Mental Attitude". It just so happens that the above title
is one of the 17 success principles mentioned in that book. Actually, it is called "learning
from defeat." It isn't a new book for me. I've had it for nearly 40 years. So why have I
not had success? Well, one theory is that I've really not related it and assimilated it for
myself. But there are 17 principles, and this is just one of them. So maybe this is not "it".
However, it is worthwhile to brush up on them all.
One way to learn a thing is to observe others. So I'm observing how this country is stumbling
through the Covid thing and I've noted that nobody seems to trust the old ways. It is all too
"whitey" for the wokesters. Is that book too "whitey", too? Seems like everything is
too "whitey" anymore. If it is white, it's not right to these people. You have to wonder if
that's where the problem is. People don't seem to respect those who came before. "Progess"
is taken for granted, as if it were like "money growing on trees". Oops! Money really does
grow on trees, at least according to the wokesters.
Money printing is going to lead to inflation. It already has, and it is getting worse. Of
course, if you don't follow history, you'll never know that. If you don't use logic, reason,
and evidence, you won't know that. If you listen to CNN, you will definitely not know that.
Commies don't want you to see it coming, nor do they want you to know that they are the source
of the troubles that are mounting daily. Inflation is but one of those things that is destined
to get worse.
All of this that I've written seems to go all over the place, but it is tied together by one
common thread. If you are going to insist upon being stupid, do be aware that this stupidity
will have its consequences. Chucking logic, reason, evidence, and history into the dumpster
is just plain stupid.
When things are going wrong all over the place, it may be time to reconsider how you got to
this place. To do that, you have to know what you did prior. For example, if you get lost
in the woods, it may be useful to remember how you got where you are in the first place, so
you can retrace your steps and get out. But that would take some history, some logic, some
reason, and some evidence. Just saying.
