Economy...
Too many people believe that Money is the soil from which the Economy grows. But in reality, the Economy is the soil in which Money thrives. This hints at the probable existence of alternatives to money that can help eradicate poverty and make life more amenable for all. Sadly, most people who go seeking solutions to the ‘money problem' either end up disappointed or dead. There are hundreds of different pizzas, but some people will do anything to ensure that only those pineapple atrocities make it out of the kitchen doors.
Reap...
Death is often depicted as a reaper holding a scythe. A farmer is represented in similar fashion. However, one is revered and the other reviled. Death must reap in order for Life to sow. To deny the cold simplicity of this truth is to reject the warmth of life itself from existing.
Facts...
The true value of Facts is dying. These days, the strongest assumption is becoming the most reliable fact.
Acting...
Funny thing about Acting. During a scene, the performers 'get into character', and play-act an entirely different person, in as authentic and honest a fashion as they can. But after the director has yelled 'cut!' most performers put on an entirely different mask that is far from who they are deep down. It's ironic... In the real world, they're fake. And in the fake world, they're real.

Both...
For some people, it is hard to make others laugh and even harder to be laughed at by others. To a comedian, however, both work.
The Chicken & The Road...
Forget the conundrum of the chicken crossing the road. Forget the thousands of times people wondered, and still do, about why the fowl did that. Consider instead the fact that this bizarre bird, which has become quite the legend in the halls of Philosophy, never seems to stop crossing that dang road. Makes you wonder… Must be something really great on the other side.
Limit...
They say there's only so much a person can take before they explode, lash out, or do something drastic. Sadly, it is difficult for anyone to know that limit. Because no two people are alike, and no two people know each other well enough to learn the difference.

Why...
A little boy asked his father, “Why does comfort make you feel good but also lazier than before? Why does pain make you feel terrible but also stronger than earlier?"
His dad replied, “Go ask your mother. Just the other day she questioned why one fish is blue and another silver?"
“What did you tell her?" asked the little boy.
“I told her to go ask her mother."
“You lead a dangerous life," said the little boy.
“But I'll live," replied his father.
