Ordinary Minds, Average Minds, and Great Minds

Confucius said it: ORDINARY MINDS TALK ABOUT PEOPLE. AVERAGE MINDS TALK ABOUT EVENTS. GREAT MINDS TALK ABOUT IDEAS. Sad to see those who often brag that they have acquired college education; or, that they have even studied the philosophy of the Doctors of the church in a Catholic university. And yet, PEOPLE and EVENTS are about the most such ordinary and average minds talk about. Indeed, they are all ready and willing to impart thoughtless mediocrity instead of expressing thoughtful philosophy. Specially for those watching on TV or listening on Radio eager to learn lessons about living the good life - one inspired by love and guided by knowledge. In our print media and in the radio and television industry - instead of great minds, we only have Jesus freaking, jerks and saps. We even have a famous Teditorial on TV. Teddy Locsin Jr. He puts under deadly analysis the insane daily and nightly news with the conclusion that we need never think about it. We are only expected, as the Sick Man of Asia, to laugh with him at the sick mess of our sick society. Poch Suzara
