I do believe that our ability to jam the trump brand is somewhat limited. i think we can chip away at it, but ultimately the way to undermine the trump brand is a better product in the political marketplace, if you'll forgive the capitalist metaphor. i do think that the negative messaging on trump is severely limited because he is tapping into a very deep, and in many a rightful, desire for deep change, and a feeling that the whole system is so broken and so corrupt that you might as well raise a middle finger as some kind of act of agency.

About 60% of the people stopped when we had 24 jams on display and then at the times when we had 6 different flavors of jam out on display only 40% of the people actually stopped, so more people were clearly attracted to the larger varieties of options, but then when it came down to buying, so the second thing we looked at is in what case were people more likely to buy a jar of jam. what we found was that of the people who stopped when there were 24 different flavors of jam out on display only 3% of them actually bought a jar of jam whereas of the people who stopped when there were 6 different flavors of jam 30% of them actually bought a jar of jam.

Forgiveness is an act of creation. you can choose from many ways to do it. you can forgive for now, forgive till then, forgive till the next time, forgive but give no more chances it’s a whole new game if there is another incident. you can give one more chance, give several more chances, give many chances, give chances only if. you can forgive part, all, or half of the offense. you can devise a blanket of forgiveness. you decide

Capitalism is very far from a perfect system, but so far we have yet to find anything that clearly does a better job of meeting human needs than a regulated capitalist economy coupled with a welfare and health care system that meets the basic needs of those who do not thrive in the capitalist economy. if we ever do find a better system, i'll be happy to call myself an anti-capitalist.

The facts of nature are what they are, but we can only view them through the spectacles of our mind. our mind works largely by metaphor and comparison, not always (or often) by relentless logic. when we are caught in conceptual traps, the best exit is often a change in metaphor not because the new guideline will be truer to nature (for neither the old nor the new metaphor lies "out there" in the woods), but because we need a shift to more fruitful perspectives, and metaphor is often the best agent of conceptual transition.

They say that when god was in jerusalem he forgave his murderers, but now he will not forgive an honest man for differing with him on the subject of the trinity. they say that god says to me, "forgive your enemies." i say, "i do;" but he says, "i will damn mine." god should be consistent. if he wants me to forgive my enemies he should forgive his. i am asked to forgive enemies who can hurt me. god is only asked to forgive enemies who cannot hurt him. he certainly ought to be as generous as he asks us to be.

Childhood is such a delicate tissue; what they had done this morning could snag somewhere in the little ones, make a dull, small pain that will circle back again and again, and hurt them in small ways for the rest of their lives.
Hurt Morning Pain
Hurt feelings or discomfort of any kind cannot be cause by another person. no one outside me can hurt me. that’s not a possibility. it’s only when i believe a stressful thought that i get hurt. and i’m the one who’s hurting me by believing what i think. this is very good news, because it means that i don’t have to get someone else to stop hurting me. i’m the one who can stop hurting me. it’s within my power.
Hurt Believe Mean
I can be hurt, you know. i can get as exhausted as anybody else. i can feel so bad i want to cry, too.
