“A fishing pole is a stick with a hook at one end and a fool on the other.” Samuel Johnson
Beware The Hooks My friend's father took us fishing one night, he took time to explain that I should be very careful with the hook because should my flesh become hooked the hook could only go one way through my finger and that would be really painful, and I believed him, but what of other hooks that pass painfully through us, you know the ones, yes? Are we equally as careful with them? Copyright 2022 ©Paul Vincent Cannon All Rights Reserved ®️

We’re so fond of requiring “commitment” in future moments which none of us can see…

Yes, and some of us prefer to just live in the moment.

Yes, it came in a sleep moment not as a dream, a meandering thought, thank you Ana.

Hooked is a good word for fools hooked on lies, addicts hooked on drugs, and politicians hooked on power. Do we acknowledge our own hooks?

Yes, absolutely Pat, so many hooked.

I love how your writing gets me thinking about the big stuff. I think some hooks can take us unseen and it can be years before we find them, years more to work on removing them.
