| Use Pharaoh for 'where and what'. |
THE WISEST man could be he who thinks himself the least so. [With Nicolas Boileau-Despréaux]
WHEN I was a boy of 14, my father was so ignorant I could hardly
stand to have the old man around. But when I got to be 21, I was
astonished at how much the old man had learned in seven years. [Mark
Twain]

throughout:Briefing: Enjoy good poetry
SOONER or later the good feelings wear off if there are inherent
dangers around. Sooner or later game birds start feathering their own
nests and do much away with dancing and chirping - it's for the sake of
getting a
common base. It's natural.There are excellent reasons not to react in fright against that sort of dedication. Imagination may still find fine outlets. Schooling draws on mental image-formations too, and it prepares one for work. Work is fine to keep a home after creating such a base.
We should enjoy the poetry and psychology that enrich for life and its typical fares and encounters before it's late. Some hope to enjoy the experience of being two based, well rooted individuals together after that.
Reasonable poetry may enrich your mind, which may next enrich your life-fare. Gold, on the other hand, may enrich empty lives, lives without poetic suggestions adjusted to subtler things to enjoy. If you have learnt how to handle gold, however, much should be won through it.
Some who criticise wealth, attack wrongly. "The strength of criticism lies in the weakness of the thing criticised." [Henry Wadsworth Longfellow] Wealth is not weak stuff in itself; certain minds don't learn to handle it likably. That's a problem.
This part of the site could help you to handle a wealth of poetic insider information fairly well.
Sage Words
A STATEMENT attributed to G. K. Chesterton:"The mere proposal to set the politician to watch the capitalist has been disturbed by the rather disconcerting discovery that they are both the same man. ... We are dangerously near the point where being a politician is much the quickest way of becoming a capitalist." [Of]
Vanity can turn a person's head

| The best is not getting outsmarted. |
"THOSE who have read a few books cannot get rid of conceit. Once I had a talk with Kalikrishna Tagore (a relative of Rabindranath) about God. At once he said,
"I know all about that."
I said to him:
"Does a man who had visited Delhi brag about that? Does a gentleman go about telling everyone that he is a gentleman?"
Oh, how vanity turns a person's head!" [See Tas]
MAYBE it can. But there are many other such influences. The novel haiku poem generator might give help to some against not a little. It has to be tried out. There has never been anything like it. It presents such as Asiatic wisdom teachings in a handy format, even in a quite humorous light for the sake of newcomers.
