Too many words for a very simple lesson: Don’t Cheat! Honor your marriage vows.

All kinds of people have marital problems.

The impeached *Squirt dipped his wick wherever, whenever, and as many times possible. Heck, he's still dating. Hillary has no problem with it.

“I wish him luck. It’s going to be a beauty!”

LOL! Great summary, Mr. President!

I don’t know the details of this marriage (few do, really), but I know this: if you drill down far enough you’ll hit something called the ‘Women’s Movement” and women’s rebellion and independence from obedience and submission to the man “as unto the Lord.” (True marriage vows include the woman’s vow to honor and obey her husband, which is also commanded in Scripture.)

It is a worldwide pandemic.

Who needs Anti-Trust Laws?

Divorce, the screwing you get for the screwing you got!

Does amazon pay dividends to shareholders?

I ask because a friend told me long ago that amazon doesn’t turn a profit. The idea is that it retrenches and grows and makes its stock more valuable. I don’t necessarily believe that. It’s something I was once told. I simply don’t know.

But my point is this: amazon stock could plummet one day. If Bezos has stock and née-MacKenzie has liquid assets from the divorce, then she has something real and tangible from amzon’s best years while he has penny stocks. And if they are still such good friends (so they say), then who can say they _won’t_ remarry one day while each has their fun/lives their life in the meantime? Then they both have their billions from when amazon was riding high and stockholders are left with the remains of a Sears-like empire.

...Or is that far-fetched?

And that is exactly right, the word is half. Texas has it’s own rules! She was married to him at the start and she’s there to the end, she get’s half!

Amazon has never paid a dividend.

I guess Jeff can sell whatever stock he has and still have a staggeringly care-free life on a tenth what his ex-wife would have.

The much BETTER lesson is: If you buy a newspaper and use it (or allow it to be used) to start fights and sling dirt at top-level political figures, don’t be so stupid and naive not to expect they will fight you right back

Congratulations to Donald Trump for taking Bezos down in such spectacular fashion.

Unfortunately too many end up paying for the screwing their partner got, and that's the screwing they get... because of "I felt trapped" nonsense.

Wise advice for living. That is what one gets from heeding the Proverbs.

To me, the real meaning is far more subtle. Bezos spent so much time and effort in his 30’s and 40, he didn’t have time to finish his development into mature into a grown man.

You see this the most out in Hollywierd which grabbed him because he was emotionally defenseless.

But I know many who think, “If only I had more money! If only I were rich! Then I’d be happy and content.”


Contentment is being happy with what you have and living within your means.

Discontentment is wanting what you don’t have, and can not afford.

“Better a dry crust with peace and quiet than a house full of feasting, with strife”

I’ll take a house full of feasting with peace and quiet.
