I had an experience in my early days and it left me with 5 priorities: Life itself, health, family (including non-biological brothers and sisters), faith and freedom. It was a valuable lesson I learned at age 22.
These are the only things worth living for, these are the only things worth fighting for and these are the only things worth dying for; not only for myself, but for others.
Notice that power, fame and fortune are not on this list.
There’s something called the horseshoe effect or theory which says the further apart an ideology is the closer together they become (or something like that. my memory is not too good, I’ll be 80 in January). At any rate I’ve noticed that far right and far left have things in common, like loss of freedom, plus thinking they are right and the other side is wrong.
This is the mindset of the entire Republican party. Except they don’t even consider introspection or new ways of doing things, or peace, or tranquility.
What? Not by sitting in front of the magic window, watching guys make a lot of money playing a game, while we stuff our faces with high-calorie, low-nutrition snacks?

Well, that certainly would be a life-changing resolution for me. However, I already have as much inner peace as I need, thank you very much.

This is absolutely my philosophy. That, however, does not make it as inane as what this sad excuse of a gentleman sounds like.
I am incapable of error.

In the new year, how about we take egotists less seriously? It will keep us humble.

Shouldn’t you have inner peace before giving out orders, then? Or is it too much work?
