  • Just staring at my last post, I'm reminded of a commerical that was on TV about ten years ago.  And though I don't remember all the particulars of it, the relevant segment goes something like this:


    Daughter: "Dad, can I go out and play?"


    Dad: "No. It's too late to go out--it's not safe."


    Daughter: "But you told me you did when you were a kid..."


    Dad: "Things are different now."


    Daughter: "Weren't they 'different' then?"


    Dad: "No, they were the same."


    Different then and the same!  Hence, different now and the same! 


    The world forever changes through generations for the lessons we need to learn to evolve as humanity are never static. 


    So we all have a hard lesson at hand now and a lot of work to do to get through it. 


    But we, too, will someday speak of a distant tomorrow to a subsequent generation by saying "Things are different now." 


    And they will be.  For that stays the same.
