I dislike being embarrassed! It seems like strong proof of my own inadequacy. Having been a quitter on to many occasions, I am my own worst and weakest supporter who feels often that “I’m just a Failure – AGAIN!” Well I’m going to do it one more time! As a kid I didn’t read well and therefore I didn’t READ! I carried that inability through most of my education – I could listen (a substituted method to reading to collect information) but if I had to read – no luck, I believed that I COULDN’T!  And I didn’t! Recently after a discussion about Religion, a friend suggested and gave me a book which he recommended –“Constantine’s Sword” by James Carroll- a non-direct and rambling commentary about the Church and it's feelng and relationship with and about the Jews. As one who dislikes anti-Semitism, the topic had my interest – the writing is far less interesting! I’m quitting again! The book = 616 pages of material + 102 pages of notes and bibliography but the guy didn’t write a complete idea, rooted of presented as historical. OK, it could be me but after 12 chapters equaling  122 pages – I surrender! – and feel bad again but it was like a dictionary without any definitions – just non-direct rambling! Going to go to Mark Twains’ “Letter from Earth”. (Archangel Satan, having been banished for a celestial day for his sarcasm regarding the creation of natural law and mankind, visits the Earth and writes letters back to his friends, the Archangel's Michael and Gabriel, about his discoveries of mankind and their beliefs.) – Thanks God – I try harder with this one!
