A pen is an extension of the self, mastered by the melodic rhythms of the mind to the hand. Revealing to the astute the underlying nuances and character of the writer.

Astonishingly, to us who belong to this elite group is the recent announcement that some grammar schools will no longer teach cursive writing! Has the world gone astray or has the digital world made this artistic endeavor less needed?


 

There are few greater pleasures than to hold in your hand a fine pen through which in a singular way you can reveal and express who you are through the flow of ink, to create a unique writing that can never be duplicated by anyone else. And to remain, perhaps, somewhere forever as a symbol and testament to you and this extraordinary art-form.

Nothing can take the place of pen and paper. A keyboard cannot, nor can any electronic device. A fine pen is a writing instrument that lives and breaths in the hand of the writer.


It's Only A Penny


After purchasing a pack of mints you walk out of the store and discover that the clerk shorted you a penny. The mints cost seventy six cents, you gave the clerk a dollar, and he gave you twenty three cents change instead of twenty four cents. Unknown to you, the clerk intentionally shorted you and many other customers.


Now suppose that throughout the country there are thousands of store clerks that short people out of a penny every day. When taken as a whole and to keep things simple, lets say that in a month the total adds up to $10,000.


In the instance where the clerk shorted you, what would you do? Do you confront the clerk? If you believe he knowingly shorted you, would you want him punished severely? And what about all the other clerks. Should we find some way to punish them for their thievery?


Is a penny that important? Can there ever be a circumstance when a penny is more than a penny? Take for example a situation where someone embezzles $10,000 from a corporation. This corporation has a million stockholders of which you are one. And each stockholder has the same number of shares – so that each stockholder loses a penny because of the embezzlement. What should happen to the embezzler? Should he be punished severely?


In both instances the magnitude of the theft was $10,000, and you and others each lost a penny. Aside from any emotional feelings, is there a difference between the two thefts? Is it forgiving to directly steal a penny from a person, and punishable to indirectly steal a penny from a person?


Let me know what you think, I would be interested in hearing your comments.
