This site is about Lindisms:
comic musings of a complex world.
On this blog, I'll talk about the saying that I'm riffing on and its meaning.
Weekday Lindism
Today's Lindism is a riff off of "It's the shoemaker's kid that has no shoes." The original saying is an observation that it's often the person who does something professionally whose kids don't benefit from what he makes. Best beware that something that you do for others during your work day for pay, doesn't get passed down to your own family at home.
My Lindism makes the same warning but uses different wording.
Get it? Until next time...
Think on it!
Weekday Lindism
This Lindism is a play on "I think, therefore I am", which suggests that our ability to think is what proves our humanity. My spin on the original is to say that my thoughts prompt me to dance. I think of myself as trying to keep in step with the rhythm of life and following the beat of my own drum!
I'd love to hear your thoughts if you have any on either.
Until next time...
Think on it!

Hey friend! Thanks for checking out my blog! This is my first post. This is not going to be a blog that has a lot to say. I speak a lot in life, so here I'm going to let the saying speak for itself. I'm simply going to point out which saying I was playing on to write the Lindism. If I have a few more thoughts on it I'll share them.
Today's Lindism is a riff on the saying, "A fool and his money are soon parted."
The original is a comment on how foolish behavior in regards to how one handles his money can lead to a loss of funds. In my twist I'm adding that jail is a sometime consequence of that same foolish behavior.
What I find particularly poignant about this saying is how any of us can behave foolishly with money and get separated from it. I think when you're in a needy position, that's not a good time to make weighty financial decisions. We're too vulnerable then. Our ability to detect holes in a scheme is not as sharp as it would be under financially healthy circumstances. And if we keep on pursuing the almighty dollar we can talk ourselves into believing that something that's illegal is actually okay. That's when being "carted off to jail" can become a reality.
If you have any thoughts, I'm game for conversation; otherwise, until next time....
Think on it!
