Commentary by Dr Agon Fly
COURTEOUS Reader,
I have heard that nothing gives an author so great pleasure as to find his works respectfully quoted by others. Judge, then, how much I must have been gratified by an incident I am going to relate to you. - B. Franklin
Dr Agon Fly agrees. Kind words about one’s writing are greatly appreciated. It is with the hope that the commentary he provides is in some small proportion as helpful to today’s 21st Century reader as Benjamin Franklin’s words were to early Americans. It is with equal hope that this commentary will receive some measure of attention and endure beyond a few moments in time.

Just like last week, or month, or year, times and topics remain consistent.
Some see the world as full of shadows and others see it as full of light. Those who live on the dark side tend to engage in negative talk and behavior while those on the side of light focus on more positive thoughts and activities — as you will discover was the case in 1758 as it is today.
The most interesting aspect of this behavior is that those who live on the dark side accomplish less than those who live on the light side. Is it a wonder? Not at all. Results reflect what people pay attention to.
Where is your attention focused?
