There ‘E Goes (The One Note Samba) – (Republished)
THERE ‘E GOES (THE ONE NOTE SAMBA)
There are eight notes in the octave
(One of them recycles its name)
But then there are always those
Who only recognise one note
Repetitive and relentless
Me Me Me Me Me

Frequently, my initial reaction to this type of person is one of revulsion. but then I sometimes pause for reflection and begin wondering what sort of pain, fear and insecurity this behaviour is concealing.

I think it’s usually the fault of the parents for spoiling the child in the first place. They always think they will get just what they want out of life and if they don’t it will be hell on earth for everyone concerned.

DISGRACE
For himself
For his gender
For his party
For his race
For his country
For his planet

I was thinking more in general terms but Trump is a classic example of a spoiled brat and the damage they can do as adults.

Isn’t he. What baffles me is how many people seem to be someone you want to vote for. (Shakes head in disbelief.)

There are angry people out there and he has tapped into that, but they make up only about 30% of the whole. There are those who like parts of what he’s doing but very few who like all of what he’s doing.

I often wonder about that too, Ben – what makes people the way they are…why did the become what they are. What was their childhood like? Their infancy? If we had walked in their shoes would we have turned out the same? Or are some people just born that way with the incapacity for compassion, empathy, truly loving others? Rhetorical questions, I guess… 🤔

I certainly have no answers. I will add that with few exceptions we all have a little of this tendency. I know I have.

Good insight at the end. I, too initially feel revulsion at the mememe folks. But realize their fears and insecurities.
