Reader question: Please explain “best of all worlds” in this sentence – “One of the beauties of our profession is that it’s so broad and there are so many options available to us, we do have the best of all worlds.” My comments: What’s his/her job? That’s what I’d like to know. In other words, is it possible to have a profession that offer the best of all worlds? In other words, the best of everything? Anyways, “best of all worlds” is a variation from the more commonplace phrase “best of both worlds”, the best of two very different, contrasting situations. When ancients talk about elevating themselves from the base human sentiments or the baseness of the human experience in general, they go on about becoming celestials who reside in the high heavens. There, they would have the company of beautiful women all the time without the women driving them on to make money for them to spend on luxuries, such as the women on earth are wont to force their men to do. Women in heaven, on the other hand, won’t do anything of that kind. Wont, by the way, means will. Won’t means will not. See the difference? I mean, do you see the difference between life in heaven and life on earth? In short, in heaven, they have the best of both worlds - They get to wine and dine without ever having to toil for everything – without having to do, as it were, the dirty work. |
