The Trick . . .

. . . to taking the high road

. . . is making sure that no one realizes that you are taking the high road. So you must, in effect, execute the triple-whammy of :

1. knowing that your goal is the right and proper one without saying so [possibly most important and trickiest]

2. taking the right tack in presenting (arguing? discussing?) your case diplomatically

3. doing both of the above in a manner that betrays no 'superiority', sarcasm or preachiness

One Time . . .

A little at a time
Enough that you can do
All else will wait in line
Rectifying worlds
Can’t be done at
One time

Hot Air . . .

(from https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/white-house/trump-says-feds-are-totally-prepared-hurricane-florence-n908596)
". . . Asked what lessons he had learned from the federal response to Hurricane Maria's devastation of Puerto Rico, Trump said that his administration's handling of that effort was an "incredible unsung success.” . . . He continued the remarks Wednesday morning, tweeting that, "We got A Pluses for our recent hurricane work in Texas and Florida (and did an unappreciated great job in Puerto Rico, even though an inaccessible island with very poor electricity and a totally incompetent Mayor of San Juan).". . . A recent study estimated that nearly 3,000 people died in Puerto Rico in the first five months after that storm hit — a 22 percent increase in deaths compared to previous years. . . The mayor of San Juan, Puerto Rico, called Trump’s comments Tuesday about Maria "despicable.". . .
the crisis is still ongoing, that the infrastructure in the island is still very weak, tens of thousands of homes have blue tarps or blue roofs, and that rates of suicide or attempts have risen dramatically in the aftermath of the storm. . ."

Scare . . .

. . . tactic . . .

(https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/fact-checker/wp/2018/08/04/mediscare-attack-ad-in-ohio-special-election-conjures-up-nonexistent-plan-to-cut-spending/?noredirect=on&utm_term=.cd831ed9ac6d)

". . . In a desperate effort to level the playing field — or a deliberate effort to muddy the waters — this ad accuses [Ohio House candidate Danny O’Connor (D)] O’Connor of a nonexistent “plan” and fails to account for the fact that Republicans in Congress want to reduce Medicare spending even more. . . Notably, the ad avoids all mention of Obamacare. That’s because the $800 billion in Medicare savings over a decade is baked into the federal budget, and the fight is over whether to reduce Medicare spending even more. That might be a worthy debate to have, but all but impossible when ads sling misleading mud like this. . ."

A Little . . .

. . . bit at time is advice well taken
In so many instances
Such as food, strong spirits and love . . .

(from https://aeon.co/ideas/moderation-may-be-the-most-challenging-and-rewarding-virtue)
". . . Our political scene offers a clear sign of the little faith we seem to have in this virtue (moderation) without which, as John Adams memorably put it in 1776, ‘every man in power becomes a ravenous beast of prey’. . ."

We . . .

I would like think that human beings, as a species, are continuously evolving. By evolution, I mean progressing in our thought processes to attain a higher level of understanding of who (and what) we really are and of our relationship with each other and the world in which we live. I am now realizing, in my later years, that while this is not untrue, this process does and will not affect all, nor even the majority, of the populace. Truth is, a very small number of us appear to grasp the subtleties, as well of the value, of this progress. . . a very disappointing fact.
