In response to One more thing (free speech) posted by Migisi:
I wonder if we're really exposed 'little by little'. I think we receive daily mega doses through the media and casual conversation (if we aren't discerning). And I wonder... have we (society) built up a tolerance to it? Worse yet, have we developed a dependency on it?
.
This isn't true for me or the people I know--'cause we limit our media exposure. But I think it is true for society in general.
.
Even if he does realize it, in his arrogance, he thinks he's superhuman and immune to it.
.
True--and I think those who listen also seem to think they can escape the influence.
.
I couldn't help but see the obvious truth in this wisdom:
"He will turn their own tongues against them and bring them to ruin; all who see them will shake their heads in scorn." Psalm 64:8
.
very true indeed.
.
peace and love,
Paper Turtle
