My World View

What's your world view?  Because what ever it is compromised of is how you will interact with people, with situations, with cultures.  Oh and lest you think that you have created your own unique-to-only-you world view, think again.  Solomon was right when he said there is nothing new under the sun.  Your view isn't unique to you, someone has been there and thought it before.  So far in my observations, limited as they have been, the only world view that ends up providing anyone's life with true purpose and meaning and no regrets as they lie on their deathbed is the view that God sets forth and created and then outlined in his word.  Why does the world view that God outlines outlast any others?  Because it is one of compassion, justice, unconditional favor, forgiveness, humility, etc.  No other world view is created of all those characteristics.  Other world views may come close but none have all that God set forth.  So, what's your world view?

Call it a Day

The literal use of this phrase hails from 1838 when the phrase originally was "call it half a day" to mean leaving work early. (source) The modern use of the phrase is to indicate ending something due to false sense of accomplishment. 

More bang for your buck

This phrase was used a lot in 1953 but an earlier citation puts it at 1940 in a Metals and Plastics Publications advertisement. Read about it here . The phrase means you get more for your money.

Butter someone up

There are two probable origins for this idiom and I think both are equally plausible. The first one is that when you spread butter on bread you are buttering it up like one would do when trying to flatter someone. The second is in ancient India there was a practice of throwing balls of butter at statues to ask for favor, i.e. buttering them up. ( source ) When we use the phrase today we generally mean that extreme flattery is used to gain information or favor. It's not always necessarily a compliment.
