A Thought That Comes & Goes in My Mind: "If You Think You Have Seen It All, There Is Always More."

Last edited Mon Mar 28, 2022, 03:44 PM - Edit history (3)

Often, I think that Ii have seen it all, I am Old, past 70. (the "O" word is no good, from now on, "mature)

...I have had lots of experiences, and have seen a whole lot.

.......But, there ........Is Always More.....

Now, you might say....."No, You Are Wrong." ......That is OK with me.

But the truth is ....".There Is Always More..".........

Just one example:...I thought Richard Nixon was the worst President in all of our history...
............................ I now think Donald Trump is and will be the ..."Worst President in Our History".. And....

..There are so many more examples. And the examples are from all aspects of our lives,
........... from countless parts of our history!!............

.....Think it over, and you will see, how truthful that single idea can be...(idea in title of thread at the top.)

Things have never changed, we just keep running the same play with new background scenery. Throughout recorded history people have let the worst of the worst rule them, over and over. The very characteristics that drives a person to claw their way to great power is the same thing that should disqualify them from achieving great power. We never learn.
