“Anger and intolerance are the twin enemies of correct understanding.”   — Mohandas Gandhi

(I take some issue with this statement.  The word twin would indicate that the two are, to a large extent, equal.  But intolerance is more of a cognitive action/reaction, whereas anger is emotional.  We all feel anger from time to time.  It’s in our animal nature.  Intolerance is a non-understanding, driven by anger and ignorance.  Intolerance is the younger, but more dangerous, brother of anger and ignorance.  If you can get a handle on your anger, and acknowledge your ignorance, then you can learn to be tolerant.)   —   YUR

Clue/Question:  What she went through on her successful diet.

Answer:  THICK AND THIN

(Not bad at all.  For most people dropping that much excess baggage would make a very noticeable difference.  But for some, unfortunately, it might be more a matter of thick and less thick.  But . . . at least it would be a step in the right direction!  Be good, people!)   — YUR
