Quality Investments as Enchantments

The quality analysis of events and possibilities begins with the accurate assessment of suitable priorities. 

Investing in the experience of quality art has little, if anything, in common with speculating upon possible financial gains through buying and selling art, antiques and access to intellectual property.

Genuine experiences of quality art are enchanting.  Those experiences are quality investments in themselves.

Truly thoughtful discussions are elegantly egalitarian.

Perhaps you are unaware that both elegance and egalitarianism are quality forms of safety.  When they are combined, the effect is magnificently magnified. 

Perhaps you have difficulty reading.  

Perhaps you have difficulty understanding the English language.  

Quality investments are always associated with empathy.

Excessively wealthy persons rarely have adequate empathy.  Their egos are extraordinarily large.  Their souls have shrunk to nothingness.  They contribute nothing to justice.
 
Whether you are wealthy or not, you may have shrunk your own soul until it became nothing.  You may have deluded yourself, and even other people, into thinking you are devout.  Yet your only real devotion may be to your ego.

Wonderful witches are persons of considerable soul and very little ego.  That is one of the reasons they are regarded as threats by egotistical persons.

Please update yourself about history as soon as possible, if you have considerable gaps in your awareness of it.

Please also update yourself on the present.

How do you usually identify, and invest in, quality news services?

What is quality news, in your view?

Perhaps you are not a particularly good investor at all.

Perhaps you fail to ask yourself the appropriate questions through which to gain necessary insights.

Quality is always associated with the acquisition of insight.

How do you distinguish between real and surreal investments?  

Charlatans thrive on promising much and providing little.  They often communicate with assertive overconfidence but no real substance.

Perhaps you are a charlatan.

Perhaps you pretend to be egalitarian.

Perhaps you mistake the glamorous for true elegance. 

Perhaps you are corrupt.

Perhaps you are stupid.

Perhaps you are lazy.

There is much cynicism and disillusionment in many parts of the world inhabited by humans.  There is widespread anxiety.  There is a pandemic of clinical depression.  There are far too many untimely deaths. 

There are far too many cruel practices being perpetrated against the elderly as they decline in health.  There is far too much abuse of vulnerable women and children.  There is too much indifference towards people experiencing poverty, illness, disability and fraud.

Attempting to develop adequately democratic structures, systems and facilities for quality journalism and quality governments and quality communities to thrive should be regarded as the duty of everyone, for no pay, with at least a couple of hours dedicated to the work each day.

It is the only hope for survival of your own species and many others.

Purported journalists, in general, have no idea how to improve governments or democracies and so they are utterly useless as leaders and possibly even evil themselves, like most of their employers.

But quality journalists are not evil.

Quality politicians are not evil, either.

Real world leaders are not evil.

Why do you do so little to support the development of legal practices and judicial systems based on elegant egalitarianism instead of bullying?  

With so much authoritarianism in the world, how can that injustice be adequately addressed if not elegantly?   

Perhaps you associate elegance with calmness and cleanliness, yet superficial elegance is highly deceptive.  

Elegance is often expressed indirectly, especially when sensitivity is desired and/or required.

Importance is always more elegant than the unimportant.

Are you sure you are investing in useful inventions in an elegantly egalitarian way?
