Another result of spiritual development, most useful in day-to-day life, is that it gives a calmness and presence of mind. Our lives are in constant flux, bringing many difficulties. When faced with a calm and clear mind, problems can be successfully resolved. - Tenzin Gyatso, The Fourteenth Dalai Lama (A Human Approach to World Peace)
Why not? Why not carry a classic Model 1911, or a modern variant such as the superb CZ-75, with a round in the chamber and the hammer cocked & locked? You know you want to. And yet, nearly everyone who carries a handgun will resort to the simple and problem-free double-action pistol or revolver, or the only slightly more touchy striker-fired pistol.
It's because a single-action pistol cocked n' locked is, well, just a little dangerous, and having one on you requires constant care and attention. Carrying a Glock is comparatively carefree, but carrying a fully loaded 1911 requires mental discipline.
Training the spirit is, as His Holiness knows, the surest way to be calm and clear-headed in our daily lives. Develop those resources, and you'll soon be carrying that 1911 in the manner John Moses Browning intended.
Great post TSB: Hillary has written extensively on YOGA as a way to deal with her tendency to turn violently abusive towards her close friends and associates. It looks like the results of an old FBI INVESTIGATION have gone missing at just the wrong time to help her win the White House. Poor Vince!

Breaking News: Deep in the Amazon headwaters, after 8 years of grueling and dangerous exploring and investigation, intrepid AP reporters ably assisted by the NYT have discovered a tribe that has not given money to the Clintons. After an intense 11 seconds of interrogation and the symbolic exchange of latte it was determined only one tribe member had even heard of Hillary Clinton, but unfortunately because of hut and financial difficulties he hurled himself into a pool of ferocious piranha’s and was devoured on the spot just hours before his scheduled interview. Faced with this unexpected disappointment our intrepid news team immediately sprang into action and produced an in depth exposure entitled “Micro-aggressions on the upper Orinoco” shining a spotlight on the abuse of tapirs and three toed sloths triggered by climate change.
ReplyDeleteA tribe that hasn't given money to the Clinton Foundation? Sounds to me like they deserve all the climate change they're getting.

ReplyDeleteVice Chairman Of Lotte Hangs Himself Hours Before Criminal Probe
The past several years have seen a surprising spike in professional suicides, mostly confined to the banking sector in general and Deutsche Bank in particular. Overnight this tragic group expanded into multinational corporation sector, after one the topc executives at South Korea's multination conglomerate LAtte Group was found dead on Friday, in what is a suspected suicide, in what police described was a "typical case of death by hanging."

ReplyDeleteTSB: I knew there was big stuff going on since the failed coup in Turkey. Pepe says the main brain in the aftermath of it was Putin who was able to talk 'reality' to Erdogan and set up an ATM axis to defeat ISIS while preventing the Kurds from threatening Turkey. The big loser he says is Obama's obsession with getting rid of Erdogan. Nato will have to just keep on pretending to partner with Turkey while the shift to the East continues for the Sunnis. gwb
