Most people teach their children to see the beauty in a rainbow.
I taught mine to see the secrets of the universe in a rainbow.
I showed mine both; they're not mutually exclusive.
Agreed. But the beauty is in the secrets that rainbows reveal.
The reason I even mentioned this was because when my daughter
was about 8-9 years old, she asked me about a rainbow...Actually
a prismatic effect on the wall from sunlight coming in my office
window and refracting through my aquarium. When I told her that a
very sensitive thermometer would read different temperatures for
the different colors, she was captivated.
She graduated cum laude from Saint Anslem's, and 2 years ago from
Boston College with a PHD in physics.
Secrets indeed.
Religion is for weak-minded fools who are afraid of death.
Only those religions which incorporate the idea of a
conscious afterlife. Many don't.
LOL...My youngest daughter recently announced to me that she was
a Buddhist. She claimed it wasn't a religion. I asked her if the
Buddha had superpowers. She said that he did. That was case closed
for me. I do like the Buddhist idea that what happens after you die
is of no concern of you NOW.
