Power corrupts. So does wealth. So does the evil that supports/defends/colludes with it. A triple threat. A juggernaut behemoth. Scary?

  • Well Rosie, I just want to amend with the fact absolute power and absolute wealth corrupts and it is inimical to all humans. Good one Sunday!

    I completely agree with thee CW. I just want to add a caveat. That is not everyone wants power over others. I don't and I'm pretty sure I'm not unique. I would like sovereignty over me of course. But others? No way! As for wealth I wouldn't mind having more money than we do. We rent. If we had the bucks we'd be living at the beach. Nothing lavish. We're simple people and our needs/wants are not on any spectacular level. We're both Scorpios and love the ocean and where do we live? In the "Inland Empire" where living is so much cheaper and hotter and drier! :( . But extreme wealth? No interest in it. None. We don't have the temperament for it. Thank you for your reply and Happy Sunday! :)

    That sounds like heaven m'dear! My maiden name started with Oh......and on St. Paddy's Day I always wrote it O'h......! Irish for a day. Plus I LOVE potatoes. I tried to grow some once on a scale of one to 10 mine were maybe a 2. Inedible. I had a mound of dirt that I used as the space to plant and while it's true that something grew I was hoping we could eat it .  I'm not a big city girl. I like to be able to visit a city RARELY but I like to live in small towns where you bump into people you know everywhere you go. That's the kind of belonging I really like. I have a friend with lots of land whose goal it is to grow 70% of the food he and his wife consume. He is up to 50%! He has all kinds of fruit trees and grows every vegetable imaginable. They are vegetarians so meat is not of any significance. I think they are not vegans. I think they use dairy products. Thank you for the invite. I live in southern California in a town called Hemet. I wonder. Could we neighbors CW? Wouldn't that be a kick in the head? :) This post was edited by RosieG at April 8, 2018 6:49 AM MDT
