not a whit

However, we tend to NOTICE the evil more.
Perhaps because of evolutionary forces.

You have ten fingers.
But the one with the hangnail gets all your attention.

A drop of sewage in a gallon of wine, renders the wine fetid.

See, the rub is, a little evil goes FAR too LONG a way.

And when you're down in that frequency, it's hard to receive any other
channels.

Many people believe that there will be some great enlightenment that will
change everything, and they will live happily ever after. But as it turns
out, there is no enlightened retirement. After whatever awakenings have
happened to people, then the next task is to integrate and fulfill those
experiences in their lives. We all know that after the honeymoon comes
the marriage, and after the election comes the hard task of governance,
and spiritual life is the same. After the ecstasy, the laundry. -- Jack
