Giving World Fool

More From Alexander Pope

It has been said that there is no fool like an old fool, except a young fool. but the young fool has first to grow up to be an old fool to realize what a damn fool he was when he was a young fool.
Growing Up Fool Firsts
A fool, a fool! i met a fool i' th' forest, a motley fool! a miserable world! as i do live by food, i met a fool who laid him down and basked him in the sun and railed on lady fortune in good terms, in good set terms, and yet a motley fool.
World Down And Fool
Freedom! that was the thought that sung in her heart so that even though the future was so dim, it was iridescent like the mist over the river where the morning sun fell upon it. freedom! not only freedom from a bond that irked, and a companionship which depressed her; freedom, not only from the death which had threatened, but freedom from the love that had degraded her; freedom from all spiritual ties, the freedom of a disembodied spirit, and with freedom, courage , and a valiant unconcern for whatever was to come.
Spiritual Morning Heart
I really believe that an awakening, a greater perspective on our lives and existence is happening. it's really the firing of archetypes that are already built into our brains, we just are able to awaken to a point where we can see a greater beauty in the world, a greater connection and sense of well being. this is what the mystics speak about. the insights fire us up into a greater consciousness on the planet. so it is a greater consciousness at the same time and a greater awareness of our spiritual nature. that is what the 'aha' is.
Spiritual Believe Fire
A society that puts equality - in the sense of equality of outcome - ahead of freedom will end up with neither equality or freedom. the use of force to achieve equality will destroy freedom. on the other hand, a society that puts freedom first will, as a happy by-product, end up with both greater freedom and greater equality. freedom means diversity but also mobility. it preserves the opportunity for today's less well off to become tomorrow's rich, and in the process, enables almost everyone, from top to bottom, to enjoy a richer and fuller life.
Mean Opportunity Hands
Wit is artificial; humor is natural. wit is accidental; humor is inevitable. wit is born of conscious effort; humor, of the allotted ironies of fate. wit can be expressed only in language; humor can be developed sufficiently in situation.

Being Yourself Mean Sense Of Humor
It reminds me of a string of wet sponges; it reminds me of tattered washing on the line; it reminds me of stale bean soup, of college yells, of dogs barking idiotically through endless nights. it is so bad that a sort of grandeur creeps into it. it drags itself up out of the dark abyss of pish and crawls insanely up the topmost pinnacle of posh. it is rumble and bumble. it is flap and doodle. it is balder and dash.
Dog Humor Dark
Now, i don't want to get off on a rant here, but guilt is simply god's way of letting you know that you're having too good a time.
