Ronin Thought of the Day

From samurai General Douglas MacArthur:

There is no security in this life. There is only opportunity.

The meek may inherit the earth, but it’ll be a long time until we’re done with it.

  1. “The meek shall inherit the earth.”
    Since an inheritance is something you get when someone else dies, this implies that they will get it when everyone else dies off.
    Who in their right mind would want an earth run my meeks?
    Francois: Oh my, we appear to have run out of canned goods. One of us will have to now grow some food.
    Moonbeam: I guess I could try but how do I till the earth? We can’t use tractors because they deplete our natural resources and using a mule is animal slavery. Besides, I can’t bring myself to rip a gouge into Mother Earth. Why don’t we just go gather berries?
    Tom Daschel: Because there’s bears and scary bees in the woods. And don’t forget how terrifying that woodchuck was when we tried to get water from the creek last week.

  2. Meekness does not necessitate weakness. Meekness has among its various meanings humility, patience, forbearance (being slow to anger, and whatnot), and strength in check. Jesus, after all, was a meek man, but he didn’t let that stop him from kicking a little ass when it was necessary (see Mark 11:15-19, per above link).

  3. I remember hearing that some animal activists broke into a meek farm and let out thousands of meeks. Those little critters killed almost everything in their environment. If it weren’t for their soft fur, I don’t know why we would even keep them around.
