Bent like a boomerang trying to maintain

You need to make your thoughts more sober, think it over
-Black Thought (of The Roots)

A lot of places to be. A lot of things to do. A lot of events to attend. A lot of sun on its way to make up for all the coldness.

Came across the blogs of this techie guy from City Hall. Some interesting comments, but the most interesting by far (to me at least) was about a sticker at his work desk listing the seven deadly social sins according to Gandhi. Wanna hear it. Here it go. In other words, they are as follows:

• Wealth Without Work
  
• Pleasure Without Conscience
  
• Knowledge Without Character
  
• Commerce (Business) Without Morality (Ethics)
  
• Science Without Humanity
  
• Religion Without Sacrifice
  
• Politics Without Principle

These concepts essentially became their own chapter in one of Stephen Covey's highly touted management books. But outside of the corporate world, they hold some very tangible and insightful meaning for those of us who want to live with just a hint of substance in our daily hustle. I won't even bother going into them in much detail because you ain't illiterate and I'm getting sleepy. So, while some of them will undoutedbly hold more meaning than others and that phenomenon will vary by individual, it'll suffice to say that they are worth reading and making a part of your regular way of life much like brushing your teeth, checking email, or wiping your a$$ (and washing your hands) after #2.
