Moral certainty is always a sign of cultural inferiority. The more uncivilized the man, the surer he is that he knows precisely what is right and what is wrong. All human progress, even in morals, has been the work of men who have doubted the current moral values, not of men who have whooped them up and tried to enforce them. The truly civilized man is always skeptical and tolerant, in this field as in all others. His culture is based on “I am not too sure.
H.L. Mencken, (1880-1956)

Errand had never had a family before, and the sense of belonging was new to him. Everything around him seemed colored, overshadowed almost, by the fact that he was now included in a small, tightly knit group of people bound together by love.
David Eddings, Guardians of the West (11-12).

I’m not a huge fan of Valentine’s Day (and not just because I am single.) It is awfully commercial, and really: why limit yourself to one day of celebrating love, and why make it the province of committed monogamous pairings? Love comes in all shapes and forms: friends, family - chosen and related by blood, pets, acquaintances, that person you don’t know yet. If we are here for any reason at all it is to love as often and fully as possible. Love is all around if we look for it. These photos are from largely non-valentine hearts that I saw just from looking around a little today. The evidence is clear: we are made to love, and you are loved. High-res

If a rabbit defined intelligence the way man does, then the most intelligent animal would be a rabbit, followed by the animal most willing to obey the commands of a rabbit.

The world in which you were born is just one model of reality. Other cultures are not failed attempts at being you; they are unique manifestations of the human spirit.
