Two
Chemlite “scholars” were engaged in a profound discussion: How does one
grow? From the feet up? Or the head down?
Said the
first: “From feet up, of course. Last
year I bought my son a new suit for his Bar Mitzvah and at that time the pants
were just the right length. Now, the
pants only reach up to his ankles. That proves that people grow from the feet
up.”
“Fool,”
snapped the second “scholar.” “It’s
obvious that people grow from their heads down.
If you see a group of soldiers marching, all their feet are on the same
level. But if you look at their heads,
you will see that they are at different heights. This
proves that people grow the head down.”
Do you ever feel like you are in a discussion where the arguments are like this? It is important to recognize when our conversion deteriorates into inanities.
