Highlights of my week:

Having shamateurs claiming professionalism & then become paranoid that the world recognise the fact and shout “the Emperor has no clothes on”.

That they consider a lot of others who were professional and/or recognisably performed to the best of their rising abilities be ignored in favour of their ego is indicative of sorry state existing at the moment. That others should be inconvenienced / punished by their selfish dishonest intransigent behaviour makes me angry.

I am reminded of a company that for many years claimed superb management and control. It employed people to examine and report the same. That same company a few years ago almost brought the American government and economy to its knees with its need for bail out.
Why did this occur?
Everyone wanted to view a pretty picture which was then painted to boost the viewer's egos.
Unfortunately the knowledge of the danger of painting on rice paper became subsumed by a desire for pelf, self admiring ego protection and loss of integrity.  All fomented & maintained by self serving litigious action, war and/or bullying threat of the same.


I loved a question posed during the week: If a lilly grows in a pond and each day grows to cover an area equal to what it covered at the beginning of the day, how many days did it take to cover the last half of the surface area if the pond surface is totally covered in forty nine days?

Similarly it should be realised that if I draw conclusions & make statements that have previously been unrecognised, then an awful lot of other people around the world are drawing the same conclusions and making the same statements! A self serving media industry seems to have developed a habit of not reporting but entertaining and driving emotive belief and decisions.
And my own question: What happens on the fiftieth day? Lily cannibalism or genetic modification and development?
