“Books are like seeds. They can lie dormant for centuries and then flower in the most unpromising soil.” (Carl Sagan); “Nothing ever dies on the Internet.” (anon.); “This is not your father’s Oldsmobile.” (Madison Ave. [m]adman). My posts amalgamate these three philosophical elements into one novel experience; they champion critical thinking, human dignity / equality, levelheaded / even-handed / liberty-based governance and solid environmental stewardship. C’mon in!

Fortune Cookie Blog (workplace woes)

 

Enter corporate and governmental revolving doors at your own risk.
Typically, they’re indicative of chaotic, cyclonic work environments;
perpetrated and perpetuated by rudderless, going in circles leaders.

Fortune Cookie Blog (pride)

 

Pride is quite the peculiar word. It can define both
leonine social units and anti-social narcissists…
the actual and metaphorical beasts, which too oft
ferociously and relentlessly prey upon humanity.

Fortune Cookie Blog (materialism)

 

When mountain high walls of coins and currency divide and
conquer, one can count on the downfall of civilized society.

Fortune Cookie Blog (positive outlook)

 

The buoyancy of one’s attitude can
heighten the altitude of one’s success.

Fortune Cookie Blog (tough love)

 

It may require tough love to point out lapses of good judgment;
be those in need of our help our homies or homeland’s leaders.

Fortune Cookie Blog (life’s high road)

 

To stay the course upon life’s high road, one must avoid
being led astray by anyone who rarely, if ever, travels it.

Fortune Cookie Blog (happiness)

 

The key to life’s happiness is more often found beneath
a cabin’s doormat than on a palace doorman’s key ring.

Fortune Cookie Blog (sizing it up)

 

Words to better understand barbarians:
The bigger the gun… the smaller the man!

Fortune Cookie Blog (power tripping)

 

Be especially wary of each man who seeks political power…
far too frequently males can’t be trusted to manage it wisely!
