"What I Really Meant to Say" encapsules all those little things that sneak out through our teeth and spill the beans on what is Really going on inside our skulls.
Today we have called in a crack team of decoders, decipherers, and various wind talkers. I asked them to translate the expression "I am bored" and this is what the team came up with" "I am selfish."
Dang team, like a jury that is deciding if someone should get the chair, shouldn't you guys at least spend a coupla hours arguing both sides before rendering a verdict?
The team says, "Nope. The translation should read, "I am selfish."
The only follow-up tips the team had to offer:
There are over 6 billion people on this planet. If you were to engage their plight in any way, shape or form you would not be bored. This planet is many things, but there is NOTHING boring about it.
Over 6 billion people and none of them needs ANYTHING?
I guess if all the humans are taken care of then there is nothing else to do and you can frolic in your state of Selfish.
If there seems to be at least one human need out there then you'd better get going.
If you are totally bedridden, broke ill-equipped and powerless to get moving then you should especially be eager to leave boredom behind. Pray for others.
