More From Arthur Rimbaud

Say thank you! i want to hear you say it now. out loud. 'thank you.' you're saying thank you because your faith is so strong that you don't doubt that whatever the problem, you'll get through it. you're saying thank you because you know that even in the eye of the storm, god has put a rainbow in the clouds. you're saying thank you because you know there's no problem created that can compare to the creator of all things. say thank you!
Happiness Strong Eye
For example, the supporters of tariffs treat it as self-evident that the creation of jobs is a desirable end, in and of itself, regardless of what the persons employed do. that is clearly wrong. if all we want are jobs, we can create any number--for example, have people dig holes and then fill them up again, or perform other useless tasks. work is sometimes its own reward. mostly, however, it is the price we pay to get the things we want. our real objective is not just jobs but productive jobs--jobs that will mean more goods and services to consume.

Pigs Years Lunch
And in a world where we have too many choices and too little time, the obvious thing to do is just ignore stuff. and my parable here is, you're driving down the road and you see a cow, and you keep driving 'cause you've seen cows before. cows are invisible. cows are boring. who's going to stop and pull over and say, oh, look, a cow? nobody.

I find that the interesting challenges, because there's obvious things where, you know, don't be unethical, don't be evil, you know, don't break the law, don't do immoral things, those are all straightforward and don't create ethical dilemmas. the thing that's interesting is when you actually have multiple interests at stake and you have to kind of navigate your way through it.
