Wise Words, Parallel Worlds

Sometimes when I am in need of words of encouragement or wisdom I turn to one the many unseen, yet real,  parallel realities that surround us. Here's something I found by a, "...young and promising voice in contemporary social commentary..." in a universe I noticed while pumping gas.

       
Whoever fights with "monsters" should see to it that he or she does not become one                              themselves. And when you gaze long into politics, politics gazes back into you.                             
                             -Friedrich Nietzsche, Beyond Good and Evil and Labeling (2017), Aphorism 147


According to his biography he is an only child in that universe, so his legacy is (hopefully) safe.



Be seeing you,

Sam

WORDS HAVE MEANING

My thanks to the History Channel for reminding me of a short but immensely important point I've been wanting to make. You see, April 29, 1945 was the day The U.S. Army liberated the first concentration camp established by the Nazi regime.

For more information visit on this date please visit The History Channel.com. Seriously, you need to know this stuff. You (and I) need to know lots more stuff.

Back to my point. The next time you want to call someone you don't like a 'Nazi', please remember the real meaning of that word and don't. Call them an asshole or douche hat or a hundred other more accurate, more descriptive words. Become a Poet of Vulgarities if you must, but please avoid the words with human blood on them. 'Nazi' is thrown around so often and easily in our society (especially in politics) that I fear we are watering down the true horror and history of its meaning.

Words have meaning. They have a definition and a history. They influence your thoughts and your ideas. Treat them accordingly.
