Epiphanies

An epiphany is a sudden, intuitive realization or insight into something. Synonyms include: flash, insight, inspiration, realization, vision. The three wise men had an epiphany about the birth of a new type of king. Here are two other examples:
Archimedes’ Eureka!: Archimedes discovered how to calculate an object’s density while sitting in the bath.
Isaac Newton’s apple: Newton realized that the same force pulls a falling apple and the moon.
From upjoke.com:: “Did you hear about Popeye’s epiphany?

Literary epiphany from The Ruba’iyat of Omar Khayyam:
“Be silent, you are beneath unscrupulous stars,
Drink wine, you are in a world of calamities:
Since your beginning and end are only of dust,

Quid Pro Joe awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom to a convicted felon, Soros, and an election-denier, Hillary. Why not Luigi? The left would dub Joe’s moves an epiphany. I wonder how the independents and never-Trumpers feel about these moves. Do they have any doubt left about how wrong they were in voting for him?

Sounds too good to be true. Headline from foxnews.com: “Who is Pierre Poilievre? Canada’s Conservative leader seeking to become next prime minister after Trudeau exit.” Did Justin have an epiphany?

I guess Cuomo, Hochul and other NY politicians see congestion pricing as an epiphany, not a cash grab.

The guy must have had an epiphany about how beautiful this pic would be. London, photo by Toby Melville/Reuters:

I’m having an epiphany: The cold weather will eventually end and the Anti-Inflation Book Shop will be back in action. Meanwhile…
