There will always be hysterics, who see shadows and conspiracies and such, even when they dont exist.....that is unfortunately, part of the human condition...

And thanks be to God for the folks who can see shadows, when shadows are present.

The ones who tell children not to talk to strangers.

The ones who warn others about oncoming tsunamis on clear and beautiful days.

The ones who see connections between smoking and lung cancer or between radiation and cancer.

Regarding your post #367...yes, of course, there are those who see shadows, when shadows are really present...I was probably one such person like that when it came to my children....

However, there are extremists, who will see shadows where there are none at all...

I guess the real wisdom, is to really understand, when a shadow is hiding some real threat, and when a shadow, is well, nothing but a shadow...

Knowing the difference between something that is a real threat, and something that is not a real threat, can be tricky....
