Was ignorance of an ancient wisdom proverb the root cause of what we are now experiencing in the USA?
Joe Biden signed 60 Presidential Orders in his first 100 days in office. The news reports about the USA borders, Afghanistan, Delta Virus, and inflation occurrences are all linked to the present effects of the new administration of Joe Biden.
The Purpose of This Post
Is to relate an of wisdom proverb, and an idiom, which appears to correlated to the root cause of what we are now experiencing in the USA and the “plentifulness” and “wants” now being reported in the news.
King Solomon
The thoughts of the diligent tend only to plenteousness; but of every one that is hasty only to want. (Proverb 21:5)
Idiom – If its aunt’s broke, don’t try to fix it
“to mean that things should only be changed if there are problems with them. With regard to proposals for some grand reorganization of the intelligence community:” (Google)
What’s My Point?
“President Joe Biden signed a flurry of executive actions in his first 100 days in office, primarily aimed at curbing the coronavirus pandemic and dismantling many of former President Donald Trump’s policies.” (CNN)
My point is that it is obvious that what we are reading and hearing in the news is a lack of well thought out diligent contingencies; what if ‘planning.
In My Opinion
If we discern the proverb wisdom, what we are now experiencing is opposite to the wisdom of the proverb which is in other words folly.
For example,
Instead of “plentifulness” which results from diligent planning for contingencies, we are experiencing what we don’t want to experience, folly.
You Decide
Does the idiom apply to border problems we are now experiencing?
Does the Afghanistan news reports appear to have contingency plans being made well in advance of Joe Bidens “thoughts?”
Did Joe Biden do anything to prevent the Delta variant to enter the USA same as what New Zealand president plans which resulted in the lowest number of Covid infections in the World?
Is the current price of gas related to Joe Bidens lack of planning adding to inflation? I won’t mention food or commodity prices because I don’t want to hear my wife complaints every time she returns from shopping.
In the 2022 election, should voters ask candidates for their plans how they will achieve all the “plentifulness” promises they make when running for office rather than our present “wants” to get rid of them in the next election?

Citizen Tom – Is Joe Biden the Problem
@Scatterwisdom
Thanks for the link.
Frankly, I don’t think Biden has just been guilty of being hasty. I think we have elected a very corrupt group of people. Ordering our troops out of Bagram was not a careless act. I the Joint Chiefs did not vigorously object, they were total yes men, and that makes them despicable as Biden.

Tom,
Wisdom haste is discernment to understand the difference when to weigh risks before making a decision or path to address a light vs a heavy situation.
For example, if you are going to decide on what flavor ice cream you want, a hasty made choice to risk a new flavor is a light risk.
However, Biden’s decision’s apparently where obviously made without spending time to plan the “what if” contingencies. Instead, the CNN article stated they were made to change Trump policies because thay hated both Trump and his policies..
For example, on illegal immigration, or Afghanistan, it is obvious Biden signed Executive Orders in haste without any discernment of what if the numbers enter the USA exceed the capacity of ICE to handle the numbers or to test them for communicable diseases such as the delta variant a d who knows what else.
As for your comment about corruption, in my opinion, the present entire USA system to allow politicians to serve long terms promotes corruption.
For example, listen to any politician brag that he or she managed to obtain Federal taxpayer funds for their Districts, (from other Districts.)
The way to succeed is based on term seniority and political committees’ power by quid pro quo. And if they do not engage in quid pro quid, (work together) they are ignored by other politicians in power.
As for the Joint Chiefs not objecting or understanding the 300,000 Afghans who joined the army and were trained only joined the army to get paid with USA taxpayers dollars instead believing in Democracy. Sad.
The same will happen in Iraq in my opinion when USA exits next because most soldiers in history join armies is because they either were forced to serve, were taught or indoctrinated in childhood it is honorable to serve the King or Country, or because they needed a way a way to feed themselves.
Everything I just opinionated is available to read in history books which unfortunately not many are interested in taking the time to understand because they are too busy chasing after the winds of vanity instead of wisdom and love teachings of the Bible..
Regards and goodwill blogging.

There is a whole lot of folly going on here. Hard to separate out the corruption, incompetence, derangement and stupidity.
Sad, all the way around!
