Briefing
Use Pharaoh for 'where and what'.
A NOT SO very aged woman who tells her real age could tell just anything. [A saying]

IF YOUR capacity to acquire has outstripped your capacity to enjoy, you are on the way to the scrap-heap. [Glen Buck]

AN EDUCATION isn't always how much you have committed to memory ... In part it's also getting better able to see into what you didn't know. [With Anatole France]

TRUE ENJOYMENT comes from activity of the mind and exercise of the body, preferably well united. [With Humboldt]

Briefing: "Through elevated observation"

Briefing cat We should try to welcome good opportunities. They can be inbringing in some way or other.
       In this section we give some opportunities to plan future activity in the light of deeper sets of purposes. Reading this page through could be a turning point, because the content contains potential for changing outlooks. After that not a little depends on changing allegiances, changing the direction of one's loyalties and the like.
       We should try to welcome positive opportunities and appreciate and attune to beauty where we find it. Even an Arctic explorer find time to see beauty in the bitter cold, through elevated observation. Elevated observation may take place in a parade of bathing beauties too.
       The ones who learn to observe candidly may raise some new standards that show others that some have struggled through and kept faithful to their own best outlooks and the like. That could be inspiring.

Sage Words, or?

Gate SEEING a puppy being beaten one day, the Greek thinker Pythagoras (c. 580 BC) took pity and said,
      "Stop, don't beat it. It's the soul of a friend I recognised when I heard it crying out."

The best is not
getting outsmarted.
A TURKISH pasha was surveying the field with his glass. An aide-de-camp rode up and cried,
      "All our artillery has been captured!"
      The pasha stroked his beard philosophically and said,
      "Fortunately it wasn't paid for."
