I wanted to laugh with delight
on reading this poem - so fabulously phrased, and with (as ever) a great message too.  Thanks

Well Ash, that was just great. All "isms" are but "schisms". Aren't they? Happy Holi

Brilliant, Ash!
I couldn't have said it better! We're too obsessed with labels instead of real solutions!

All that is tried and tested usually works well my friend
fortunately there are many 'isms' that are now out of circulation thanks to expansive mind education; very well said Ash as always; many blessings and thanks

That's right. Stick to that which is good and reject what's bad for you!

I totally agree my poetic sage! Wise indeed, but I have come to relish in that wisdom of yours as well! sam

Definitely plenty of economic isms, none of which have seemed to help. I think your advice can solve it.

Then there's Judaism, Catholocism, Baptism, Hinduism, Budism.....don't want to let go of those too quickly, right?  But your advice about hard work and creativity is sound advice!  Mal
