I don't now if Chris is the originator or not, but it went, "To the victims go the spoils".<br /><br />Perhaps "Into victims go the spoiled" would be appropriate, too.Reg Thttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14099612693763932005noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6557458849091969678.post-71157224975891353592015-02-19T14:18:20.976-05:002015-02-19T14:18:20.976-05:00I assume you are familiar with Bill Whittle (billw...I assume you are familiar with Bill Whittle (billwhittle.com).

But without the messages (themes?), I don't think I'd enjoy it.<br /><br />I read a book once on how to write. The author said something like, "Needless to say, a writer's sensibility can only interlock with the affections of readers who share his fundamental moral views." Then, "A writer's sensibility, which compounds his moral views and his sense of human character into themes that can be fictionally explored, is near to unalterable." [/flattery]<br /><br />Those are messages, too, really. But like cultures, not all messages are equal. Some are much more valuable. If your "pot of message" is actually valuable and well presented, it will sway some in the right direction.<br /><br />I like your pots of message. ;-)Weetabixhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06106614092497408546noreply@blogger.com
