People are stupid but persons are smart. That saying has gotten me through much in my life. and, others, too. We once had a fellow from Taiwan live with us (years ago) and he used to hear me recite the above to people when they were going through times of angst. When he returned back to his home overseas, he mentioned to me that there was one thing that he had learned from living with us that had helped him alot. (I, then, of course, was hoping he'd become a Believer <g>). He recited the above and said he'd even shared it with his wife at home as well as several friends. I suppose it is simply one of those universal truths.
