Good article. Regardless of where you yourself stand, it has been observed that restraint of tongue and pen (and virtual keyboard!) has served past presidents of various ideologies well!
Meister Eckhart, Christian mystic: ‘In silence man can most readily preserve his integrity’. A little prayer and meditation, a little flexing of the spiritual muscle, could not hurt. You can do all those contemplative, introspective things and still be an alpha male, or just a male in general. Try it. Still waters run deep — maybe! It’s not a big moneymaking strategy in this day and age, but there you have it nonetheless.
No good on the track-bias plays this afternoon, Johnnie. Closest at Thistle on the 6f, WMF 200 trip in Race 6, in which 9-1 Parade for Me never made the lead nor was close to same; ran second anyway. Ugh. Next race there, 11-1 Blingitonagain did make the front but called it an afternoon barely past four furlongs. The race after that, 7-1 Dayjur Hooq tried to run for 1,320 feet and not much farther than that. What are you gonna do? As they say in the Oxford Group, ‘…accepting hardship as a pathway to peace…etc.’
Still some life in the track-bias plays this evening at The Mountain, though. The same sequential troika as at Thistle — Races 6, 7, 8 — is up for grabs in W.Va. You can pick out the frontrunners for yourself in those three contests. Now, adding compliments to good health, Race 8 doubles as one of ’em races in which the top two morning-line chances are not greatly appreciated by the robot handicapper. Now what? We have a willing alternative threesome in their stead, and if anything good or bad happens, you will be the first to read about it. Promise!
That’s all the non-silence we have for yourself today. Accepting this sinful world as it is, well, hey, that’s a fine strategy for overall calm and good vibes — things cannot always conform to the optimal outcome for yourself. And even in such times of seeming hopelessness, every perceived slight will not have to be taken personally. You can save a lot of mental and psychic upset that way. Try it; you may like it.
