i appreciate that deduction very much... it 'slims' the fat from the verse... i see how we arrived hre....

i see the position of 'two paths' the verse created.. fight or flight...

where does transcendence fit into this verse? what if there were a third opton? or several?

what if one of the choices was love.... creating an atmosphere of love.... in the days of Jeremiah, the world was large, uncharted... invaders came from places in the distance... in camps without absent of survellience capability..

imho the Earth has become more known since then....

emphasis on colors makes one color blind?
