Vengeance is not a virtue...

[Peter Frank]

This thread is not intended for the numerous and excellent human beings I've met here ...who work passionately and tirelessly for what they care about. This is for the lazy bitchers.

Virtues are hard-won character traits, while vengeance is the opiate of the lazily indignant.

No one ever achieved change by simply bitching. The real movers & shakers actually devote time and effort into what they care about.

The work is simple. When something strikes you wrong, instead of firing off a no-brainer retort -- why not turn the table, and put the author on the defensive by asking probing questions? ;)

(...don't ask me why I ask.)

1. Good post.

Learning about things usually takes a little longer than firing off an emotive response, but then if we don't know anything what is the point of arguing?

2. Do the work. Grasp the subject. Then Argue...

3. Great question by the way...

4. ...and welcome to the DU

You're in for an outrageous ride around and through the twists & turns of major & minor political battles.

This is fertile ground for thought, but not for the faint of heart.

5. that is so true

it gets them to think about their position and how they don't have a clue why they think it. Then some will question, that is the first step to awakening. Very Zen thanks.
