“All great truths begin as blasphemies.” (GBS) I suppose that one could argue the point, but this is Shaw, living in his time and place. Some of us have lived long enough to see that this statement has some merit. Times change; people change. Great and basic truths don’t change. You can probably name examples. I can, too. ;-) Jack

FROM EA IN MICHIGAN: After thinking about this statement a bit, I agree it is a trueism (a word?) FROM JACK: Those mores when you and I were young, are not necessarily acceptable today...and vice-versa.

FROM SH IN MICHIGAN: You know, I think--as unbelievable as it might seem--this WW is actually true. Just personally thinking about the truths that I have come to accept in my own life, realize that conversion has always seemed to be the name of the game. Great truths and struggle seem to go together more commonly than truth and ease in life. Though maybe ease in life results after the great truth has been accepted. It's sobering to realize I am one of the ones who has lived long enough to realize that this statement has some merit. One of the old people now. FROM JACK: Change happens, whether or not.....It reminds me of when we used to play hide and seek. "Here I come, ready or not."

FROM MOLINER CF: Some of the people are truthful all of the time and all of the people are truthful some of the time, but not all of the people are blasphemous all of the time. Abe Medd

FROM C&AS IN MICHIGAN: A grin is right in between a smile and a chuckle! FROM JACK: How do you draw a chuckle?
