“Why should you be confused just because you come from a confused civilization?” — Brian Aldiss
(Maybe, because – generally – that confusion is easier than clarity. Many/most people strive for a kind of psychological consistency. The “inconvenient truths” presented tend to be dismissed, because accepting them disturbs that consistency. We are more comfortable with our long held, preconceived notions. We need to realize that truth isn’t always pretty, or comfortable. But, it needs to be accepted. Be well and do good, friends.) — YUR

Is this our first Brian Aldiss quote?
I thought maybe so, hal, but his name was already in my Tags. And, it looks like WordPress linked today’s to a Cryptoquote Spoiler from 10/24/14. — YUR
I did not recall that. It must have been the *brandy* in today’s Jumble.
Tough time with the Jumble?
LOL! Look what I didn’t do! — YUR
Sorry, Smitty. Thought I had posted it. — YUR
“Truth” is usually uncomfortable because the most significant truth is usually about ourselves
Surprise !.
