By example; truth exists eternally outside an origination of one. Customs may begin as a continuation of successful attributes rather than a broken precedent. As a stand alone comment, I would be prone to give it "one" star. 1 Reply E Archer, NYC 8/27/18 Truth is ever-present, its origin from the mouth of Nature's God. ;-) I think what Astor means is the realization of the truth rests with the individual. This shift may set new precedents and be the beginning of a new tradition (until the next big realization). 1 Reply Ronw13, Oregon 1/6/20 Speaking of herself more than likely. No deep thought there. More could be said, but why waist the ink. Reply Fredrick William Sillik, Anytown 5/15/25 Maximum wage now. Reply Fredrick William Sillik, Anytown 5/15/25 Maximum wage now.
