Hi Marsha, Perhaps I have stumped you with my request for a definition in the post below. Perhaps you think it is a trap, and are doing the same thing that you project on dmb, hiding under the covers. Perhaps this question did not get your attention.
So, let me ask you a different question: What is it deep down inside you (and possibly many others) that causes you to want to compare everything? No, not a trick question, a question requesting understanding on my part. Relativism is only one way of looking at things, imo.
