We've had Black Friday....

....recently, and now the post Christmas sales are in full swing.  Shops are doing their best to tempt us. Piled high in every window are special offers. It can seem that we are bombarded by TV ads offering us all we could ever need at prices we won't believe - apparently!  Strangely, though, no store is offering a bargain pack of wisdom. Indeed, you can't even get it at any price!

In this economic climate, we may think we're short of capital but it's understanding that's really in woefully short supply. And we are not even wise enough to realise it is missing!

Gratitude is a duty which ought to be paid, but which none have a right to expect.   (Rousseau)
