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!
