Irish success or the “The luck of the Irish” in my opinion sometimes comes down to :

doing something ie action.
however badly
and finding your way
ie bumbling along
in a selfish way
because in fact the luck really refers to self gain ie benefit to oneself when it is used. Self loving propoganda is often what convinces the world to garnish you with societal reward, and re-amplifiying that propoganda in a feedback loop, ie the phrase “The luck of the Irish” is a bit of self reinforcing propaganda.

Luckily or not ? we decided to reassert the idea that money really does have some meaning, hence the global hangover in relation to spin/marketing and false budgets, yet the government hold interest rates low to try and keep the false party rolling through the wee small hours of despair, but some generation sooner or later is going to have to pay the piper and that day is coming soon.

I’ve come to the conclusion over the years, most of life is spoilt by too much comprehension and forethought, that life is best led with little understanding to spoil the prospect and a go for it, “dive in” approach. Pity my baden powell propanda in childhood started with a solid 40/50’s ideal of “Be prepared” ie be cautious and ready, this didnt serve me well in the last 20 years, but caution seems to limitedly and currently seems to be paying microscopic dividends in the current climate. But im sure well soon return to debt and proflegacy, as that seems to be where the majority have weighted their chips on the human seesaw with their faith and prospect of undeserved future wellbeing ?

and alchohol helps allot of this “diving in” approach, and the irish have a close affinity to that.

but hey i guess the payback perhaps is the irish economic hangover ? argh theyll find theyre way, but sometimes bad medicine we all need to take.
