Sitting down for a nice chat could help, but most just want the speak and really don't listen. No compromise possible until they're talking about what they have in common and eliminate the tips of the bell curve, my friend. This thinking is making me want some breakfast. See you later, Bill

Hope you've eaten and are satisfied now. Wish I could feed my belly with poetry. I might lose some weight! lol.

Where are the teachers/philisophers? The wise men of This age.? Come let us reason together though Your sins be scarlet they shall become as snow Though crimson ' they shall be as wool..! Dear Gershon thank you for posting this Wonderful poem.'

Yet men have spoken as directed by God often enough I it depends on what you desire I see, is it for better.? That speech is made.? If so let the words be few and to the point.'

The wise men of this age are silent. No better wisdom than that.
