Without the proper credentials, what someone says has less value. I believe it was David Hume who said, when speaking of natural religion, that if something doesn't make sense to a child, it probably just doesn't make sense. The obverse of that applies as well. <BR/><BR/>Truth doesn't require credentials, you just have to measure and weigh it. Those who influence us most only need to have been, not to have been qualified.<BR/><BR/>When I was a child, I used to remark on my "friends." My mother said that most of those I called friend were actually acquaintances, and that a person usually has few real friends in this world. I took that to heart. Too much so, in retrospect. I am too selective of those I call friend, and have lost out thereby.Gingermanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17903281372336437371noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4085261678477746076.post-30906981419648397022008-10-04T10:28:00.000-05:002008-10-04T10:28:00.000-05:00I like the idea behind the words.

In playing the mental exercise, the friends came to mind immediately, where the stars/celebs I drew a complete blank.Greg Stewarthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17688459525360750872noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4085261678477746076.post-76736903889689786402008-10-04T10:26:00.000-05:002008-10-04T10:26:00.000-05:00Nice to know but doesn't change the message.
