"But--"

[ysobelle]

"But how can you be absolutely right, and they be absolutely right?"

"Remember the story of the blind men and the elephant?"

"You're saying G-d's an elephant?"

"No, I'm saying we're all right."

"And no one's wrong."

"Nope."

"How is that possible?"

"I don't know. But I don't think it's given to any of us to fully understand the nature of G-d."

I find this message becoming relevant more and more nowadays.

And still it is sometimes impossible to explain to people.

I have a near-fundamentalist at work that everybody has to tolerate. Very arduous. I'm glad his crazy days are over as I'm told, although I shudder to think what those were like.

It has made me think of my own understanding more though, so I suppose that's good.

Darn skippy. I also like a certain Witchy Author's Idea of a Diamond.

If we are standing facing each other, and there is a diamond between us, I can see one facet, and you another, but it doesn't mean that either of us is wrong. :)

If you're Hindu and worship Ganesh, sure!!

Perhaps it just means that they're all wrong.
