Today's MOZEN: What's a Photo Worth?

Just about everyone is familiar with the old adage, a picture is worth a thousand words. Well, how about this one?

It doesn't take a deep thinker to see what is obvious; these two men, leaders of 2 of the most repressive regimes in the world, known to be stone cold killers, obviously have formed a mutual admiration society. However, unfortunately, our current Administration and its leader are about as deep as spit on a sidewalk. So, they obviously don't see it for what it really is.

By his tacit, if not overt, support for these two men, President Donald J. Trump has emboldened them to the point of euphoria. They have discovered, he can be bought - and, rather cheaply, too. It's not just the money, but also by something as simple as feeding his ENORMOUS ego: yes, Mr. President, you ARE the greatest American leader - ever. Certainly, Mr. Trump, we would LOVE to do business with a great businessman like you, etc., etc., etc..

The only ones missing from the photo are two of the world's other vicious despots and Trump cronies, Rodrigo Duterte and Kim Jong-un.

It's pathetic. No. Wait. It's worst than that. It's DEPLORABLE.

A true leader is a person with insight, intuition, knowledge, wisdom, altruism, and compassion. When right is on the line, there is no hesitation. There is no consideration of personal gain. There is an inner, moral compass that guides them to do the right thing - even at risk of personal peril.

The men depicted in this photo, as well as those mentioned in the body of this post, all have one thing in common: they lack ANY of the qualities I mentioned in the previous paragraph. In fact, they take it further in the opposite direction- they do nothing if it does not lead to consolidation of more power, more money, and more debauchery, they simply are not interested.

They all deserve one another. . .
