The most powerful color, since it dominates the most vast things people can see, the sky and the ocean (even during winter).
People thought that a blue sky would free their mind from a gray one and put a smile on their face, when in reality they didn't know they were trapped under the blue sky between them and what was really beyond it, what they could only see at night when the blue sky faded away. Any time you need a blue sky to feel free or happy, you're not really free or happy.

At what age does someone get the authority to shut shit down? If they can shut something down at 40 something, they could do the same thing at 2, and if they couldn't do it at 2, they don't have the authority to do.it at 40 something.
Authority or status is kind of like a title on a piece of paper or a plate of metal. It's about as meaningless as life itself.

People from the government/media often say they are serious, or to take a storm seriously, or that they are no nonsense people, which is not the same as being serious. They want to be taken seriously, that's why they're saying what they're saying the way they're saying it. When someone wants to get respect, or be respected, they'll say/do just about anything to get what they want, just like people will say/do just about anything to get money or anything else they want. It's the way people are, it's the way the world is as long as there are people in it.

If you don't know where you stand with somebody, I'd say your moral compass isn't the only one that needs repairs.
Alan- I don't know where I stand with you boss.
Dave- The same place you were standing a minute ago Alan, you're standing directly in front of me, so until you choose a new set of coordinates that is where you stand with me. What is the misunderstanding here?
