Subject: RE: BS: Are we at the doorstep of World War III?
Big Mick, you like that word 'trite' eh? That'll learn me for being 'apologetic' about my position!

"Love thy neighbour as I have loved you". Pretty trite, I guess. Laughable, even! But that doesn't mean it's not true. Or that it's not the ONLY solution to endless warring and avarice. If everyone directly involved cared to APPLY it to the specific situations so well outlined in the posts above, that is.

The problem with truth is that it's SO 'trite' people write it off, if they choose to listen to it at all. Pilate, at least, admitted his real ignorance - in spite of all his wordly knowledge and influence - when he asked "Truth? What is truth?"

And the Condemned One gave him the only answer he could understand.

Silence.
