: : : : : So while we are on the subject of 'Truth'......

: : : : 
: : : : : Truth is a point, the subtlest and finest; harder than adamant; never to be broken, worn away or blunted. Its only bad quality is, that it is sure to hurt those who touch it; and likely to draw blood, perhaps the life blood of those who press earnestly upon it.
: : : : : (Walter Savage Landor)

: : : : 
: : : : ~~I'm not afraid of the Truth.  I believe Someone touched it for me. (Just revieling my path a bit.)

: : : : : 
: : : : : Truth is mighty and will prevail. There is nothing wrong with this, except that it ain't so.
: : : : : (Mark Twain)

: : : : ~~Ol' Sam never was a patient sort, was he?

: : : : : 
: : : : : Whatever satisfies the soul is truth.
: : : : : (Walt Whitman)

: : : : ~~I balked at this one right off, then I remembered the Balm of Gilliad.

: : : : : 
: : : : : The truth is rarely pure and never simple.
: : : : : (Oscar Wilde)

: : : : ~~Not through our human eyes, anyway.

: : : : Thanks, Huggy!  Now that were in agreement on truth and unity, maybe we can start working on the rest of that Pax Paper.  Anyone feeling open-minded and in need of a good probing?:)

: : : : Dana S.

: : : *me!* *i do! i do!* 
: : : Actually, Dana, I'm not sure there was agreement on truth & unity. Most seemed to say truth is unchanging & there can be but one; others felt truth is flexible & there can be many. The distinction between perspective & truth wasn't unanimous.
: : : Unity; well, I think it was never really examined on its own merit. The discussion became one of 'how do we achieve this unity?' without defining or weighing it or considering its cost.

: : : Dana, you have NO idea how much I enjoy your enthusiastic expressions (even when made within the safety of self-threads!).

: : : 
: : : Elaine

: : ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

: : I couldn't agree with you more Elaine.  For someone who professes to have difficulty posting......I think our Dana has a marvellous knack for getting to the heart of things in a coherent and intelligent way (which is more than she does in her emails to ME!!!)

: : As far as Unity goes, here is my question to you.......is it possible to be 'united' with someone whose way of life is fundamentally different to yours?

: : And on the subject of Truth, I would be interested to hear from someone who can explain to me how there can be more than one truth?

: : Sooooo.......there is something for y'all to get your teeth into!

: : Adele
: **************
: Thank you, Elaine and Adele, for your compliments.  I'm just relieved I could be comprehended.  And may I say to you all, that I adore your vocabularies.  They never cease to amaze me!  I wish you could beam them into my brain along with instructions on using them.:)
