It's not surprising, then, they get bitter, they cling to guns or religion or antipathy to people who aren't like them or anti-immigrant sentiment or anti-trade sentiment as a way to explain their frustrations.

Diotima
'Diotima', I asked, 'what is truth? '
'Truth', she said, is the operation of logic welcomed by Sentiment so long as it upholds certain foregone conclusions.'
'Well, then, ' I continued, scratching my head', 'what is Sentiment? '
'Sentiment', she said, 'is the conviction of the majority that its conclusions have something to do with the truth.'
'Oh. Thanks.'

Hypocrisy is a value that I think has been embraced by the Republican Party. We get lectured by people all day long about moral values by people who have their own moral shortcomings.

I know no subject more elevating, more amazing, more ready to the poetical enthusiasm, the philosophical reflection, and the moral sentiment than the works of nature. Where can we meet such variety, such beauty, such magnificence?

. . .you said good friends are hard to come by I laughed and bought you a beer 'cause it's too corny to cry well sentiment given and sentiment lost you shook it off with a smirk and a toss and you were only joking.
0319 For Jake - A Sloppigram
Some days I love crap sentiment
’cause I know there’s real sentiment under there
Some days I love silly pomes
’cause I know it takes a happy man to be silly
Some days I love rude messages
’cause they’re a way of not saying loving, embarrassing things
about special people
Hi Jake

Be A Poet
Imagination, thought, embodiment
and at last praiseworthy comments.
I know these all need a poet,
You see, a commendable guerdon is flowing from the past for them.
Now, I am looking at everyone’s tradition.
Yes, all are genius.
I see, some were furious,
and always took part to sacrifice themselves.
Some were serious, and used to ruminate themselves.
Dignity kissed their faces.
But tell me, why did such two devastative incidents occur (in the same century) ?
Manifestation of mankind has rolled more than a thousand year,
and how can you say? ......
“ The third may not occur.”
Power and the chair of sentiment don’t care of you at all.
They only know how to tramp and make radiation.
So, I don’t care, who is going to take the lordship,
And who would accept the dictatorship.
I know, most of us don’t care.
But those who cares must extol.
So, be a poet.
Be a poet…...
Please, don’t deviate.

To My Very Dear Teacher , Dr Rubina Kamran
To some, Love is just mere words
To me it's a sentiment
A sentiment I get every time I look into your eyes
A sentiment I get when I realize you are my mentor
and when I need you most when needed comforting
You always found the time.
Your expressions were so soothing
Thank-you
For being there when I needed you most
For being my rock when I had no earth to stand
Thank you
For believing in me, even when I was misgiving myself
For being the one person I could confide in
For you my love is forever strong
never changing for all time...
when I need you most
No matter what, no matter where
You were always there to appease me
Thank you
for being with me my dear teacher
I am so proud to claim
I love you
Now and forever

That's what causing problems in our world
That's what causing problems in our world
people without the moral on the board
I wish there was a university with moral degree
everybody has to have it from the boss to employee
All they teach our children is profit and more profit
do it even you have to legally or ilegally cheat
Use your knowledge to make money
you deserve to be rich, hell with everybody
So what if we have so many professionals graduate from best university
If they are insensitive to the poverty and enviromental problems in our society
We human like to blame problems on everybody around us
Even though we are part of the problems, so stop making so much fuss
A university degree without moral back up graduates a monster
who goes to the society and rub the people like a gangster

America's greatness has been the greatness of a free people who shared certain moral commitments. Freedom without moral commitment is aimless and promptly self-destructive.

The difference between sentiment and being sentimental is the following: Sentiment is when a driver swerves out of the way to avoid hitting a rabbit on the road. Being sentimental is when the same driver, when swerving away from the rabbit, hits a pedestrian.

Political realism is aware of the moral significance of political action. It is also aware of the ineluctable tension between the moral command and the requirements of successful political action. And it is
unwilling to gloss over and obliterate that tension and thus to obfuscate both the moral and the political issue by making it appear as though the stark facts of politics were morally more satisfying than they actually are, and the moral law less exacting than it actually is.

A Defeated Republic
What we were we are no more.
With funds in the wrong amounts hitting the wrong hands comes a large demand.
To sacrifice morals for important policies that will not be dictated by you.
A powerless embodiment of the people but not for the people.
An empty shell with gloss put on it to make it shine as a distraction with no true interaction.
A pot of gold to find.
In visions, I seen this coming but not so soon.
It is a defeated republic.
