This is one of those timeless pieces that I write not because it has any particular relevance at the moment, but rather because I find myself saying this over and over again and I am quite tired of it. I would far prefer to have a link to refer people to so that I never have to say it again.
I often tell people that I have adopted "The Jack Sparrow Philosophy." This philosophy comes from the movie Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl. Near the end, after concluding his epic battle with Captain Barbosa, Jack leaves the cave where they have all been fighting with Elizabeth and Will, and when they get to a place where they can see, the Black Pearl is gone. Jack's crew has left without him.
Elizabeth says, "I'm sorry, Jack."
Jack replies with a bit of profound wisdom which I have termed "The Jack Sparrow Philosophy": "They done what's right by them. Can't expect more than that."

OK, so where are you going with this. Perhaps a little Jack Sparrow Philosophy can make it into a sermon some day.
However, your right, his philosophy transends a lot of people in the world.
I don't get your point here! Is it good or bad philosophy? To me... Jack has the best ideology.. ( leaving backstabing and deceiving ways behind) I see a great man in the making there! I love when Barboza tells him.. "that's the mentality that lost you the Pearl" Jack shows heart!!!!!
