    “People, if you wanna go somewhere and you don’t have railroad fare, plane fare, train fare, boat fare, or don’t have no fare period, there’s one way of getting there. I’ve been using a method for twenty-five years or more, you know, sonny, and it seems to have paid off. Just walk on”

    “Blessed are the MEEK …”

    In today’s language meek means wussy and weak.

    Back when the Bible was translated into English it meant, those without station, the disenfranchised, the oppressed, those who endure hardship. When read with that meaning, the beatitude makes more sense.

    Sandals can be a bad idea too. Like when the son in law wore them to walk fourteen miles on the concrete at Disneyworld.

    Reminds me of Frank and Ernest (Thaves) jokes about the meek inheriting the Earth. My favorite shows Earth with weapons / war machines going around it, explosions on the surface. Earth says to Saturn “I can hardly wait until the meek inherit me.”

    The kids of a family that lived in my mom and dad’s rental would never wear shoes outside and only wore shoes to school. My mom found out that the family could only afford one pair of shoes for each kid and they wore those shoes until they fell apart. My mom went to the old “Shoe Palace” store where you could get two pairs for ten dollars. She bought of three kids two pairs of shoes each. I never saw children get so excited.
