Leadership Thought #489 - Be Mindful of the 3 Temptations
Leadership Thought #489 – Be Mindful of the 3 Temptations
Temptation is an issue we all deal with. I don’t usually mix my faith which I deem to be a very personal issue with my leadership development work. And, I have no intention of radically changing course now, however what we read and study does affect us and inform our beliefs. From when I was a child I was very fascinated by the story of the “Three Temptations of Christ”which he endured while…

Time Tunnel - Aisle Four!
Time Tunnel – Aisle Four!
We’ve become spoiled, and that’s no lie. I see what’s happened over this past generation, and I wonder how they will cope later on in life.
When I was being raised, we didn’t have high-speed internet, cell phones, wi-fi, or any of this other instant gratification stuff. We had to wait for our mail, call people on phones connected by wires to walls or desks, or heaven forbid, go out and TALK to…

My brother's becoming Hugh Hefner
Watching gymnastics: She's hot. I'd fuck her. Her too. Oh not her! Her face is weird. I guess i could keep her out the back though she's pretty flexible.
On his Birthday: I want a black silk robe with my initials embroided in gold thread.
On smoking: I'd only smoke cigars and a pipe, cause they make me look sexier.
When ever the size of anything is mentioned: Mine's bigger.

New Data Suggests Heliocentrism Still Not Acknowledged by Some
As shocking as the title may sound, it's sadly true, albeit on a metaphysical level. What do I mean? Well it's quite simple: Science has shown that the solar system is heliocentric. Basically that means Earth goes around the Sun, not the other way around, nor any other wacky-ass combination of ways. The implication herein is that since the Earth revolves around something else, then in turn the universe doesn't revolve around the Earth. THAT in turn means the universe doesn't revolve around anything on Earth.
See where I'm going with this? If not, stay tuned, you might learn something (or waste another few minutes of your fleeting existence, but that interpretation is purely subjective, but that's a whole different discussion).
The problem is the pervasiveness of ego-centrism in some (read: far too many) people. Granted, as children basically all humans go through an egocentric phase. A young child has yet to be socialized (also read: socialized =/= civilized) and so only views the world from a personal context, very instinctual, very survivalistic, and a trait that socialization looks to mitigate. The idea of course being that those older humans who understand social interaction and the need for a non-egocentric view of the world mentor the young ones and teach them to share, be mindful of others, etc, etc, etc. Sadly it seems that such development is not thurough, and we have a slew of older people who never exactly figured out the whole "other people" part of the system. Case in point, my neighbors, who you may thank (or preferably insult/ridicule/laugh at) for this writing. While they in fact have nothing to do the coming day, from their standpoint staying up late partying loud and drinking has little to no direct consequence on the morrow. Not QUITE the same for, oh, say, the rest of the tenants in the adjacent apartments whom are subjected to yelling drunks, and the loud thump of bass that can only be likened to the sounds of a Yeti attempting to copulate with a dryer full of tennis balls. This manner of behavior with reckless abandon for others is at least obnoxious, and at its worst can be dangerous (drunk driving, stupid people running equipment, the list certainly goes on).
Unfortunately for this problem, legislation that places restrictions on being an asshole will inherently come up against the 1st amendment (and of more immediate impact, would result in a large percentage of our, and most other, government(s) being arrested immediately upon passage). So what to do, what to do? I have long been a fan of Dante's Divine Comedy, most specifically The Inferno for just this reason. The allegorical tale itself is splendid, but the damnation of people that pissed off Dante is a beautiful illustration of just the manner of crap some people deserve. To that end, I have fabricated a fitting punishment to place within Dante's circles for these people. The lowest current circle sees the "ultimate sinners" forever caught in Lucifer's mouth, where they are chewed upon for eternity. The ego-centric shall not be far away. For those who lived their lives with their heads shoved squarely up their own asses, they shall be condemned to eternity in Satan's colon. Despite any inclinations about religion, the existence of hell, of the make-up of it, keep in mind: IT WAS A FREAKING FICTIONAL BOOK, and the idea behind this condemnation is still relevant regardless.
i will play that game with you lol ;D
hahhah(:
