THE GOOD, THE TRUE, AND THE BEAUTIFUL
This is a thought provoking article I found this morning. What do YOU think?
The Good, the True, and the Beautiful

"Most people have made bad choices. Perhaps it would not be too extreme to say that all people have made bad choices at some time or other. Now why did we do it? Did we decide, “I think I’m going to make a bad choice today? Let’s see; I’m going to invest some money so that I’ll lose my shirt.” We do not normally, as a rule, decide at the front end, “I’m going to make a bad choice that will result in disastrous implications for the rest of my life.” Yet we face a real problem in making choices, and we share that problem with our ancestors. The first book of the Bible contains a case study in how we tend to go wrong in our choices. The story of Adam and Eve describes how a choice was made to take an action that would have disastrous implications. The choice was based largely on a faulty understanding of values."

i read most of the article. . i think if it had been pared down it would have more impact. but what i read was very good. .after a while i found that it was impossible to retain anything, cuz there was just too much to digest. did you read the whole thing?
