Re: G. B. Shaw's "Those who cannot change their minds, cannot change anything."

Yeah, Liz, good one isn't it!

Has it's own inbuilt paradox...
Change from what to what...and when?

That's why I like this one so much:

True, Gennelle

. I love them both. Is it the arrogance of human nature

?

Yes, Liz ~

The ego is the "arrogance of human nature", believing (as opposed to 'knowing') what is right for the world, instead of getting to the real root of the problem which always lies within.

Until ALL people realize that they only perpetuate problems they claim to hate, by the very fact of hating them, nothing will improve. (I'm speaking of 'hating', not obligatory actions rquired by duty and circumstance; the difference is critical)

The moral is: Take care who, or what, you choose to despise....you could be dead wrong!

Love & Light,
~ Gennelle
