18. She would have been appalled at the Xmas cards my dad had us mail out one year.

There were boxes of them specially made up, good card paper and metallic colors, like little booklets.

All philosophies and faiths got equal billing, just the way my family saw them, as believers in secularism.

Each had a symbol and saying that was translated. Included were Hindu, Zoroastrianism, Baha'i, Buddhism, Judaism, Islam, Christianity and others.

The important part was the message inscribed on the facing pages, but it was all the same:

The Golden Rule.

Sans all the supernatural or cultural differences, that's what remains of worth. A person doesn't have to subscribe to a belief system to get there.

JMHO.
