Bad Moon on the Rise
If saying something is good, knowing what you
are saying is better.
One of college roommates
use to say “It is a doggie doggie world”.
I will never forget the look on his face when he found out that the saying
was “It is a dog eat dog world”. Actually
he had the same expression when he found that the Creedence Clearwater Revival
Song was “There’s a Bad Moon on the Rise”,
not “ There’s a bathroom on the right” as he would sing it.
Don’t just accept and repeat sayings. It isn’t just about not sounding
foolish. There is usually a story behind
why those words are used, and it might make more sense after you find out how those
words came about. There is usually wisdom
behind those words and it helps knowing why you are using words, not just merely
repeating words.
