Grook week 32
… been on vacation… and the weekend is just about over already.. :-p .. guess that is one thing hard to imagine.... well.. I think Piet has a point here.. although I sadly think that there is too much imagination regarding how our neighbour’s tribulation might be a problem for us..
…
CAN YOU IMAGINE IT?
We haven’t much imagination:
it even overstrains our powers
to see our neighbour’s tribulation
as any real concern of ours.
We have too much imagination:
enough to credit, without fuss,
that all is well with all creation
whenever things are well with us.
.. but I think that’s an illusion… or rather not being those that he is thinking of here… well, I think he describe those that “know” with very limited real base for doing so… but if he thinks of those that knows what’s best for others than I think he might find quite a few at universities… :-p
.. anyway… hope your weekend will be free of anyone who would be seen as a pest…
Grook week 33

.. back to work for real… and I guess working at a university might by some be seen as working with tons of persons that are among those that Piet is referring to in this grook….
..
..
THOSE WHO KNOW
Those who always
know what’s best
are
a universal pest.
