"C" Is For... Well...

"Don't criticize, condemn, or complain." - Dale Carnegie

This is good advice for me when facing a dilemma of style. In some things I can tell when it's time to change direction, if my style is out of sync with the culture. Such differences in philosophy are the ultimate fodder for criticisms, complaints and condemnation. Tonight Dena and I watched "The Boy In The Striped Pajamas," about World War II concentration camps. What clearer historical example is there than this of condemning differences?

Differences may cause us to go our separate ways, but they are worthy of respect.
