“Words do not express thoughts very well; every thing immediately becomes a little different, a little distorted, a little foolish. And yet it also pleases me and seems right that what is of value and wisdom of one man seems nonsense to another.”
Gautama Buddha
You never vote for who you want to win
you vote against who you hate the most................TD
Hey Growler,
We need some thoughts from Buddha about the election.
“N viena pasaka nepatikkit,
Nors šimtmeius ilgus
Daugyb krašt jas laik tikrove.
Netikkit ir tuo, k
Kiti žmons be perstojo kalba,
Nors išminiaus žodžius jie kartot
Ar pasiremt raštais šventais.
Netikkite niekuo,
Sapnuose k regjot, k vaizduot sukr,
Nors manot, kad siunia tuos vaizdinius
Dievas.
Nepriimkite žodži už ties,
Nors kažkas juos pridengt šventuolio ar
Meistro vardu.
Patikkit tik tuo, ko karti patirtis
Ilgai Jus paius per išbandymus mok,
Kas nekliudo gerovs nei Jums, nei kitiems.”
Gautama Buddha
Can you actually read that, or has he been on the turps?
As societies grow decadent, the language grows decadent, too. Words are used to disguise, not to illuminate, action: you liberate a city by destroying it. Words are to confuse, so that at election time people will solemnly vote against their own interests.
-Gore Vidal
Google translate says you quote is Lithuanian. Surprised me. It still doesn't translate properly.

Following straight lines shortens distances,
and also life.”
