Idioms and Idiots

  

An idiom is a phrase or expression that typically presents a figurative, non-literal meaning attached to the phrase; but some phrases become figurative idioms while retaining the literal meaning of the phrase. Categorized as formulaic language, an idiom's figurative meaning is different from the literal meaning.

 

You can lead a horse to water, but you can’t make it drink

Don’t throw the baby out with the bath water… 

To drown in a glass of water…                                                 

Blood is thicker than water

To pound water in a mortar…

One shall not shed tears until he sees the coffin…

 

Amazing is it NOT, that due to people’s own personal inability to choose truth over hate, empathy over insecurity; we watch as too many individuals have died from a plague, which never REALLY needed to be a pandemic, but blossomed as did the careers of the carriers of unconscionable mayhem into a business of death for the peon and success for the politicians who love to keep the dumb as shit, dumb as shit!

 

Inattentional blindness is the failure to notice a fully visible, but unexpected object because attention was engaged on another task, event, or object. (Wikipedia) COVID kills, Stupid makes COVID stronger, Pretending that hate is a scientific model for living your life benefits COVID! And yet as the rate of illness and eventually death skyrockets, there remains a DEBATE…Ah COVID, you have not only affected the physical of humans but have ravaged their mental capabilities. Kind of a one-two punch!
