Truisms to Keep Learning, Thinking, and Earning.

Your Net Worth is not a number.

A wise man once told me, "Life my friend, is like a box of donuts...   no, wait, no it's not."  Wise men acknowledge their mistakes.

The charge of Government is to PROTECT and UPHOLD the citizens' rights, NOT to RESTRICT them.

Pursuing adolescent dreams of making a difference isn't adolescent.  Giving up is.

Breaking the rules isn't dishonest.  Lying about it is.

Frailty of character can be gauged by the amount of difference between who a person is and who they want to be.

The purpose of government is to prevent one party from impinging upon the rights of another.

Do not hoard. There's enough for everyone.

We only want for that which is denied us.

Anarchy is the ultimate destination of any positively evolving society.

Mass is resistance to Motion.

Two wrongs don't make a right, but three lefts do!

The object of true love is not experienced as an opportunity, but a responsibility.

Genuine responsibility is a desired obligation.

Anything, physical or otherwise, is defined by its absence.

Substantive abandonment of convention is evidence of mastery.

Life is the dynamic, creative edge of reality.

Scale is the real life representation of variability within a set.

Dimensions are the stepping stones of the universe.

True dimensions occur at prime numbers.

Truth & Honesty are not the same. One can tell the truth while being dishonest.

Be honest & life will be easy.  ...No. Wait.  My bad.  Scratch that.  Not necessarily.

When one truly has something, it is given away without the need for self-consideration.

The notion of implied meaning is the most common root of misunderstanding.

Racism - The belief that the members of a race exhibit specific characteristics or abilities more frequently than another race or races; thereby distinguishing one race from another.
vs.
Racism - The belief that all members of a race possess characteristics or abilities specific to that race; esp. so as to distinguish it as inferior or superior to another race or races.

Varying accent is an emerging means of conveying context & comprehension.

When presented with a choice, to elect 'not to choose' ensures a path devoid of creativity, which may be destructive by definition.

The absence of communication between necessarily linked parties ensures conflict.

If you discover an individual truly hating you, rest assured they have already done you wrong.

The commission of an injustice precedes the harboring of hatred.

  1. Nice blog, Eric. Thanks for sharing these thoughts/wisdoms. I am going to write down the ones that I like, especially, and remind myself of them from time to time. Self earned wisdoms is best, but u know you have grown wiser(even if it's only a little bit )when u take the time and listen to the wisdom that other people have acquired so u have knowledge towards those things in life. Wisdom may be virtuous and even respected on higher level, but sometimes to just be knowledgeable is better, for the moment, than to not listen and become wise fore you need to due to a hard, usually painful or highly emotional lesson life has allowed you to teach yourself over time.
