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 play on the phrase "All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy." This saying points out the value of making time to play and have fun. My twist suggests that filling your schedule with all work and no play will lead to mental health consequences.
Until next time...
Think on it!
Weekday Lindism
Today's Lindism originates from "All that glitters is not gold." In the original the lesson is that just because something looks valuable doesn't mean that it is. My Lindism speaks to a similar issue. Just because a person looks fine on the outside doesn't mean that he's fine on the inside. He may have things inside of which he dare not speak. In this age of transparency we can forget that not everything we feel is going to be spoken.
Get it? 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!
