Women compared to men are as mites compared to elephants when it comes to committing crimes. I had not a clue as to the why of this fact, and it is a fact, until I read an article in U.S.. News & World Report (2/23/98) by one Charles Hartshorne, centenarian philosopher, mentioned in last weeks article. Hartshorne stated, "It will eventually be acknowledged that women are wiser than men (emphasis mine). The essential proof of female wisdom is that women commit far fewer crimes and antisocial acts." Amen!

"Hey, N., do you think women are smarter than men?"

No, I think women are wiser than men.

"What's the difference?"

Well, generally speaking, both men and women are smart. The difference comes when one observes that men 'say the right things but oftimes do the wrong things and that women do the right things and say nothing.

"For all the law is fulfilled in one word, even in this; Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself." Gal.5:14

Wisdom perfected? Harming not thy neighbor.

Have a good week!
