Something To Ponder
« on: September 17, 2010, 01:04:51 am »
 All through School We were told "If At First You Dont Succeed.... Try....Try Again".....but later in life We All learn that one of the Main Definitions of "Insanity".... is Repeating The Same Damned Mistake .....Over and Over Again.....and Expecting a Different End Result...... >:D

As a species we're fundamentally insane. Put more than two of us in a room, we pick sides and start dreaming up ways to kill one another.Why do you think we invented politics and religion.

True, I think there is a fine line between insanity and just regular ol boneheadedness.  I balance that line regularly ;D

I like the conjunction of those two sayings.  To me the point is to learn from the failure and try something different the next time around.

Or... take a quote I've seen attributed to Will Rogers.     " Some men are born smart and can just see how to do things right the first time.  Others are born smart enough to learn from other's mistakes.   And then there are the suckers that just have to piss on the electric fence themselves."

  When it comes to women I think I qualify as insane. Most other things I try to approach from a slightly different angle. Steve

I gotta say that in my case if the mistakes are fun especially a lot of fun I'll probably keep making them ESPECIALLY WHEN IT COMES TO WOMEN.Ron

I can't believe that a bunch of people who take bits of sticks, string and stone out to the woods, and kill things, are talking about sanity.   Ron :D :D :D

Actually, I think it's more the "lack of" that they're talking about...  seems to be the common denominator anyway ;)
