Very meaningful, Gershon ! Ego is the greatest weight that pulls each man down.

Ego is such an impediment, it can even pull a woman down! ~ The Snake in the Garden

I agree... Just want to add on to your comment that 'Editing is important.' Edith is important too. ~ Archie Bunker

There's a great deal of truth in this short verse, gw.

Truth -- better even than Babe Ruth. (What else rhymes with truth, anyway? ... Ray Bluth does. Do you know who he was? -- a pretty good left-handed bowler on the PBA circuit in the 1960's. Hmm. Now there is some important trivia for you!) :) gw
