Forgiving - Poem

Know this: forgetting is not forgiving.

Which: first or second, adds most to living? 

Don't dwell on memories: simply forget

But when you forget, it's an unpaid debt

That will be collected, sooner or later.

Subconscious memories are the traitor.

If you consciously choose not to recall,

You create an impenetrable wall

Made of memories you don't want to face!

Forgetting, you hope to not leave a trace.

Forgetting, badness is just held at bay,

With forgiveness, the badness goes away.

          Don't take all the responsibility,

          First ask yourself: was it only just me?

Complex physical/mental attributes.

The human being is overwhelmed by the complexity of the physical body and overestimates his/her grasp of the complexity of the mental body. No one is as smart as they think they are.  

Illness = Mental Illness?

Does it surprise you that someone who is habitually angry, habitually anxious, or some other habitual negative emotion may eventually, because of that mental condition, suffer a physical one?

Investments

Why are the surreal investments of stockholders valued more than the real investment of stakeholders? 

Wall Street parasites

Saying Wall Street and its machinations are the economy is saying the parasite is the host.

parasite noun 1. An organism that feeds on or in a different organism while contributing nothing to the survival of its host.   2. One who habitually takes advantage of the generosity of others.

Free Market

How do subsidized and deceptively marketed products create a "free market"? The US market is not free, but "authorities" say so. It reminds me of the aphorism: You can put lipstick on a pig, but it's still a pig. But if authorities think the pig is beautiful, it is presented in the language of beauty. Yet it's still a pig.

Evolution

Don't believe in evolution?

Don't evolve.

Capitalism

Capitalism is supposed to raise net worth, but if the net worth of society is lowered while the net worth of a few is raised, this is not capitalism. What is it? My view—the system is authoritarian, not democratic—some unwise decide for the many. (See the blog with the Thomas Jefferson quote.)

Wall Street profiting

Wall Street financial houses are supposed to make money when the economy is out of balance, and the U.S economy is way out of balance. However, dishonesty masks what is really wrong. If you prevent Wall Street firms from making the money they are supposed to make in a sick economy--this is addressing the symptom rather than the cause, which is a SICK economy. The problem is even deeper--society's values are sick, which makes the economy sick.
