THE EYE THAT SEES

Pondering the Principles of Proverbs

Picture
The all-seeing eye, regardless of its representation, is a mystical symbol common among all those with any aspirations to wisdom. It is the symbol of the attainment of wisdom, or a symbol of God in the various religions of the world.

Of course, it is mainly associated with the occult and black magic.

Pondering the Principles of Proverbs

Picture
Back in the day, WYSIWYG was computer-speak for "what you see is what you get." This marked the advent of rapid changes within our computing universe.
While we no longer say, "whizzywig," the acronym is apropos for this discussion.

What You Say Is What You Get.

Pondering the Principles of Proverbs

Picture
There are many definitions of success, and many more ideas of what success looks like.
For some, it is measured in money. For others it might be measured in quality of life. For yet others, something entirely different.
Whatever your definition of and measure of SUCCESS, may this article serve to remind you of the true path to reach that particular pinnacle.

Pondering the Principles of Proverbs

Of course, we do.
In fact, many of us have probably said at one time or another, "I have a great idea." Nothing wrong with being your own cheerleader, I guess; but I do get a kick out of hearing that particular statement.


Why is this? Why do we automatically assume that our thought processes, or our opinion, or ideas are best?

Pondering the Principles of Proverbs

Picture
Thin-skinned people abound.
Imagined insults set them off with no warning.
Simply utter a certain word, and you will not hear the end of the matter.

Pondering the Principles of Proverbs

Picture
Sadly, most religions have left off emphasizing these three qualities. In the Christian church, self-sacrifice is often touted and called for when it is necessary to keep the machine oiled. And, of course, generosity is often emphasized as long as you are being "generous towards God."

However, the three here mentioned in the quote would serve us well if we were to develop these as character traits in each individual.

Pondering the Principles of Proverbs

New International Version
Lazy hands make for poverty, but diligent hands bring wealth.

New Living Translation
Lazy people are soon poor; hard workers get rich.

English Standard Version
A slack hand causes poverty, but the hand of the diligent makes rich.

New American Standard Bible 
Poor is he who works with a negligent hand, But the hand of the diligent makes rich.

King James Bible
He becometh poor that dealeth with a slack hand: but the hand of the diligent maketh rich.

Holman Christian Standard Bible
Idle hands make one poor, but diligent hands bring riches. 


                                                                                            (Proverbs 10:4)

HATING THE HORN IN YOUR LIFE

Pondering the Principles of Proverbs

Picture
Most everyone recognizes this classic representation of "Good vs. Evil."

The Joker, Batman's arch-villain, mocks and opposes all things good. He is generally regarded as a homicidal maniac, and although he has had many chances to end the Joker's existence, Batman has repeatedly failed to do so.

Therefore, the struggle of good and evil continues in Gotham City.

The Joker, and his persistent desire to establish anarchy as a way of life within the fictional Gotham City, represent something more than just the struggle of good and evil.

HOW TO HATE

Pondering the Principles of Proverbs

Picture
I'm sure that many would assume that we need no instruction on how to hate. It seems that hate is all around us. People hate the government. People hate politics. People hate religion. People hate each other. People hate getting cut off in traffic. People hate to wait. People hate the way they look. People hate not having any money.
Hate seems to come easy. It seems to be the way of life in this hour.

Pondering the Principles of Proverbs

Picture
Go to the ant, O sluggard,
Observe her ways and be wise,
Which, having no chief, officer or ruler,
Prepares her food in the summer
And gathers her provision in the harvest.
How long will you lie down, O sluggard?
When will you arise from your sleep?
“A little sleep, a little slumber,
A little folding of the hands to rest”--
Your poverty will come in like a vagabond
And your need like an armed man.

(Pro. 6:6-11)
