King Solomon, President Trump, Great Unity Negotiator?


Would King Solomon kiss President Trump on the lips for being honest and wise. Did he use the good guy, bad guy, negotiation tactic successfully?

King Solomon, Besmirch Irony




Which of these two professions thrives on besmirching their opponents?

Definitions
Besmirch-to cause harm or damage to : sully, soil
Irony– a state of affairs or an event that seems deliberately contrary to what one expects and is often amusing as a result
What Two Professions?
1.Lawyers- Movie scenes portray lawyers as heroes or heroines when they besmirch a   bad guy’s lying statements in a courtroom scene. Obviously then, lawyers thrive on besmirching?
2.Politicians-Anyone listening to politicians in news interviews on TV or Radio, especially during election times, for the most part are hearing politicians besmirching their opponents.
In a previous post titled, King Solomon, Civil Decorum in Congress, I stated my opinion that politicians should be examples of Democracy and first debate with their opponents using civil decorum in the halls of Congress rather than besmirching them in public.
King Solomon
Hiding hatred makes you a liar; slandering others makes you a fool. (Proverb 10:18)
And he that uttereth slander is a fool; that brings it out by wholesale, and hides it not; who openly defames his neighbour, and in the most public manner; and with a multitude of words detracts from his good name, credit, and reputation, and loads him with calumny and reproach; such a man is a fool, a very wicked man: yea, not only the public slanderer, but the secret dissembler, who thinks himself a cunning man because he hides himself; each of these is a fool, the one as well as the other. (Gils Commentary Excerpt)
In Other Words
Today on the news it appears to me that besmirching and possibly inferring slanderous innuendos or implied accusations is no longer considered an immoral issue of concern by anyone..
Perhaps because of the example of our politicians daily public displays of besmirching, there are now more activists emulating their tactics?
Instead of debating with decorum, activists engage in besmirching on the internet, marching about the streets with besmirching signs, disrupting public meetings, shouting often times slanderous remarks, and even fighting with people who do not share their political opinions.
Irony In My Opinion
The irony of our USA Democracy and the subject of besmirching, is the USA Congress is mainly comprised of lawyers thriving on besmirching their opponents.  
Regards and goodwill blogging.

King Solomon, Causes of Disasters (u/d)

download (35)

Something to think about this election?
We read or hear about terrible human casualties caused by natural disasters, wars, terrorist attacks, or travel mishaps. Every once in a while, a religious leader makes a statement that the reason for the disaster was that God willed the disaster to happen because of the sins of man.
Victims may lose faith in their God for allowing both evil acts and natural disasters to fall upon them even though they have always followed a path of righteous in their lives. The wise King Solomon believed that many causes or curses may be more related to man’s foolish choices.
For a definition listing of Anthropogenic,  as well as  opposing effects of natural hazards that cause natural disasters. see HERE.
I surmised in a novel a brief excerpt of what King Solomon may have explained, based on his proverbs, to the Queen of Sheba to consider about evil and disasters. The novel is a contemporary application of a story form to promote understanding of proverbs and ancient wise sayings in relation to our modern times.
Excerpt
“Men make free choices that will affect their health or subject them to the risks of harm from nature, weather, or man-made disasters. For example, we have beliefs and strict rules of diet for purposes of sacrifice along with cleanliness to prevent sickness in our community. Someday, we may come to know more about the cause of sickness if we study the nature created by Yahweh.”
“If a man chooses to sail into a storm, he may bring harm upon himself by engaging in a greater risk of sinking rather than embarking in good weather.”
“If a man chooses to build his house on land known to shake, he risks harm by living in a house that may someday collapse on him.”
“Men start all wars and bring harm and suffering upon themselves because of war. The cause of war is the same as a pregnancy. A pregnancy will not occur if there is no intercourse same as a war will not occur if there is no discourse initiated between men.”
Bilqis smiled in recognition of my point of comparison.
“Bilqis, my belief is that whatever plans a man may make, he will not accomplish his plan without God ordering his steps. I choose to believe that Yahweh sent us The Goddess of Wisdom to help us make wise choices to help us prevent bringing harm upon ourselves and to aid us to create a better life in accordance to his plan. In other words, Yahweh has a reason for allowing every step man takes whether their step results in either a good or evil act.” A man plans his way, but Yahweh orders his step. (Proverb 16:9)
“To summarize what I have just stated of my beliefs to you is this. The reason why Yahweh allows evil to exist is a mystery. Yahweh has made a plan or reason for every happening on earth, whether it is good or evil, wind or weather, or his reasoning for allowing men to make wise or foolish choices.”
“Think of a good man being a wandering bird in flight. No undeserved curse will come to a wandering bird in flight unless there is a reason or cause for it to land.” As a sparrow on the wing and a swallow in flight, so is an unmerited curse, which does not alight. (Proverb 26:2)
