WHY is neither here nor there. HOW, WHEN, WHAT and WHERE is what accounts. ~ C A Cafolini

In the past whenever humanity underwent an incident of catastrophic nature, the only question engraved on the minds of the victims was ,WHY? Why they had to suffer too much from man himself? They did not have time for trivial queries like HOW WHEN WHAT and WHERE but surely these questions must be/are valuable for historians, whose concerns are not for the destruction of the emotional fraternity of Man by Man himself, so that is the most probable reason why WHY was not accounted for anywhere.


Simply put " The question WHY constitutes the roots of all wisdom"

Patriotic quote isnt it? Well these words are not originally of JFK himself but he was quoting a quote from one of the works of Khalil Gibran, (Lebanese origin) which appeared more than 35 years before he used it in his inaugural speech. We cannot blame JFK for plagiarism because he never ever in his life ever mentioned that this quote was his own.

The original quote goes as:

“Are you a politician asking what your country can do for you or a zealous one asking what you can do for your country?” Khalil Gibran.

Gibran's quote is okay, but JFK's was his own and didn't look at all like Gibran's. The actual speech by JFK was in general, to the public, and it is displayed in the upper front of the headquarters in Fort Gordon, Georgia: Do not ask what your country can do for you. Ask what you can do for your country. It is very different than what Gibran said to politicians, where Gibran's applies very well. JFK's is a most Catholic BS to the people. If you don't ask what your country can do for you, what do you want government for? These and many other issues were probably the assassination cause. For it is precisely the Catholic representative in govrerment that protestants couldn't stand, nor do I, personally. Get your facts straight before you endorse JFK stuff on a sensical man like Gibran. If you want to endorse something probable on JFK and his protectorate, endorse the death of Marilyn and say with her "happy birthday mr ****sident." Good day!!

To effectively communicate, we must realize that we are all different in the way we perceive the world and use this understanding as a guide to our communication with others.

The lessons this life has planted in my heart : pertain more to caring than crops, more to Golden Rule than gold, more to the proper choice than to the popular choice.

“The person, be it gentleman or lady, who has not pleasure in a good novel, must be intolerably stupid." Jane Austen

This has to be one of the stupidest things anyone has ever said, and cements my dislike for Austen even more. I'm going to be torn apart for saying this but I don't care...Pride and Prejudice is FAR from a decent novel let alone a good one, the characters are all shallow and one dimensional and the fact that she is praised more than Dickens and Thackeray is appalling, considering that they wrote great books and she wishes she was a real author. She was just another absolutely despicable feminist.

It's okay for some people to see s**t and think it's chocolate. But then, after tasting it, they are not much concerned with having eaten it. They are more concerned about how they could have stepped on it had they not tasted it. ~ C A Cafolini.

My, to what length people can go.

Some people. Percentagewise very few. They refuse to smell so that some goons can feed them without trouble. Then, of course, comes the redemption: at least not stepping on it.

"Even the geniuses ask us questions. Be grateful for blessings. Don't let the change keep your essence, the power is in the people and politics we address. Always do your best. Don't let the pressure make you panic and when you get stranded and things don't go the way you planned it... dreaming of riches, in a position of making a difference...Politicians and Hypocrites? They don't wanna listen!" 2pac (Me Against the World)
