- "Have you seen a man who is hasty in his words - there is more hope for a fool than for him." - Proverbs 29:20 How short is the path from normal ... to crazy? Assertion: some genes are "dumber" than others ... the inheritance from our parents "Individual genes are turned on and off depending on the needs of the individual cell or due to the influence of external environmental factors." Those who light the fire with the embers of evil forgive them ... they know not what they do Always be empathetic to stupidity and gullibility

Anne-Lise, I was talking to a friend last night and we were discussing our different upbringing. We might learn from our parents that it's OK to ask why we need to do certain things. A lot of people are probably going about their daily routines almost like being programmed. As you say, we do have to figure out how to get these people to ask more questions...in an empathetic way.

Yes, I agree. Meet people all the time who have changed for the better…or in the process.

One's genetic make up has much to do with his character. Some have inherent behavioral disorders. They can't help it. We have to be sympathetic towards them. Anne, your advice is like that of one who is well studied in human psychology. Great thoughts, Anne. Love and hugs!

Powerful verse Anne Lise, well written. There's no excuse for man's inhumanity to man. Everytime you turn on the news there's always some crazies carrying out atrocities. The world has become evil and dangerous. Tom

Empathetic? Always. Silent? Not always. Silence may help not further disturb the fool's soul, but it could also lead to the destruction of the next generation.

Thank you so much for sharing this enlightening gem, demonstrating the true facts of science, which we now need to defend more than ever, it maybe that we may never make the cure for cancer the way things are headed. I will use the forgiving the fool approach, for they not know what lunacy they make. Ty, Anne-Lise! ~

Anne-Lise, a powerful poem. Some are dumb in their ignorance of humanity.

Ooh a Scrippy. Very nice. I just finished reading Proverbs then Ecclesiastes. So much wisdom. Yes, as you point out some do evil things out of ignorance. As for the deliberate perpetrators of what is bad... Watch out!

So interesting. To have empathy for the gullible. It is hard to do. But it's what God would have us do.

Sometimes digging into a nest of worms or a hive of bees has them biting the hand that freed them…Creepy crawlers. Who’s the dumb one? It’s not always genetic, which makes them even more pathetic. You scored big points with his one, Anne-Lise!
