“To be, or not to be: that is the question: Whether ’tis nobler in the mind to suffer The slings and arrows of outrageous fortune, Or to take arms against a sea of troubles, And by opposing end them.”
From Shakespeare’s ‘Hamlet’ – Act III, Scene I..
Thoughts on Seeing, Fleeing and Being Politically Correct
( Pace tua Wm. Shakespeare )
To see, or not to see: that is the question : Whether’ tis wiser to look it full in the face, or, to turn that blind eye, which is the kiss of ineptitude, and by ignoring, forget them.
To flee, or not to flee: that is the question : Whether’ tis safer to meet with danger face to face, or, to turn and run, and by escaping, live to flee another day.
PC or non-Pc: that is the question: Whether ’tis better in the end to put up with the hawks and sparrows of mind distortion, or to take umbrage against such hubble-bubble, and by exposing suspend them.
Ah – the conflicts with PC I battled in my working life

Social and personal dilemmas mitigated through humour and poetry. If only the world would laugh more ! thanks for this Roland, I would love to hear what the members of the Barnsley Working Man’s Club think about political correctness……………..on second thoughts maybe not !

PC seems to be taking on a new life every day. Back in my day, being politically correct was much different than it is now. I think there are those that just like to hear themselves whine.

So much humour and truth, and oh so clever. Politically correct…… , it can be stressful to thread the weaving paths and not fall of the cliff.
I would like to quote you : ” TO TURN THAT BLIND EYE, WHICH IS THE KISS OF INEPTITUDE, AND BY IGNORING, FORGET THEM. ”
Well we need a break and a laugh so forgetting at times might be good. 😊 .
