A Google collage cut and pasted from a search on “clarifying moment

 

The war is a tragedy for its victims,

but it could also be a clarifying moment

if the world draws the proper lessons…

 

But if we are in a state

of perpetual self-development,

of endless becoming,

 

then perhaps there is never

a clean moment of arrival,

or a clarifying moment.

 

But in reality,

a clarifying moment

is unfolding.

 

The patriotic tensions

generated by war and recession

spawned a “rare clarifying moment

 

or some other kind of turning point—

to no longer "manage calm"

but instead to become a revolutionary force

 

and to permit violence to become a clarifying moment

and its aftermath as a clarifying moment

taught a sharp lesson, to me, it was a clarifying moment

 

on the dishonesty of identity politics,

on the identity of dishonesty politics.

In a clarifying moment

 

of insight approaching epiphany,

I now see that we can't realize a clarifying moment

as a clarifying moment should be realized.

 

Dear Leader longs for a return of the clarifying moment.

Political compounds can cause turbidity

and reduce clarity in sparkling beverages.

 

When a Christian departs

from a gospel of love and forgiveness

to advocate murder,

 

his example provides

a clarifying moment

for anyone. You'd think.
