Tanzanite eye

The point of view you have if you watch a lot of QVC. You hear about a golden eye or a diamond eye, but you hardly ever hear about a tanzanite eye or an emerald eye.

Dr. Robotnik- Chaos, what is that reflection in your emerald eye? Is that me I see?

The reflection in his/her tanzanite eye was keeping the QVC folks from getting any rest at night.

Life

Not the only thing that knocks people down.

Not everybody who says they got up after being knocked down really got up. Some were always helped up by an authority figure in life.

Charity

Being told where your money is going, or even being shown paperwork isnt the same as knowing where your money is going, or being in control of where your money is going, or what it's being spent on. If it seems to make sense to be suspicious of where your money is really going, that's because it does make sense to be suspicious of where your money is going.

The people collecting money from people like dishonest tax collectors claimed to be a charity, and many charities that stole from people did have official names and were official organizations. That didnt make the people running them trustworthy people.

Dropped

An overutitlized word, a lot of journalists write things like dropped to make their writing sound tougher. If a guy hasn't landed on his head, or fell 2 or more storeys against his will, he wasn't really dropped, he was just knocked down (if he went all the way down).

Quarterbacks who got sacked didn't get dropped (no matter how many yards they lost in the process), they got knocked down. The same applies to a guy getting knocked down in any other sport.

Friends

Telling people they can live together as friends even though they have no reason to trust the person telling them that is a good way to get them accustomed to falling in line with an agenda. Gaining their trust, eliminating/crushing resistance to an agenda, and access to or control of something is the intention of someone that does that. People already know who their friends are in life.

People don't need friends they don't already have.

Study tower

A tower several stories high that someone studies their opponent from while being literally over their head enough that they wouldn't need any metaphors.

Trees

People descended from trees to start cutting them down to make bibles and money.

People read stories about their descent in a book made from what they descended from (trees).
