Pearls Before Swine? TopazOwl Thu Aug 10 17:54:51 2000 There is a discussion going on in another place that I thought I would bring here.*p* Some of us feel, as Druids, that it is no use trying to present the Great Truths of the universe to folks who won't understand them or are not committed to their accurate dissemination. Some of us also feel that many of these Truths cannot be expressed in words, but can only be attempted badly and therefore can become confusing to those who have not already experienced them. While we can guide, we cannot force understanding.*p* Therefore, some of us refuse to "cast pearls before swine," instead being content to offer guidance only to those who demonstrate an aptitude for understanding and a desire to learn.*p* Others disagree with that view, feeling that pearls cast before swine are not lost, but are more like seeds dropped in the soil to grow where they will.*p* I'd like to know what the Druids here think about all of this.*p*Leigh
