SOLOMAN HAD HIS PROBLEMS, I have mine; not inferring that my intellectual expertise would compare with his. Think this situation would come under his “man and maid” problem. This is mine: why will a man court a maid, bury his face in her hair and tell her how he loves to smell the perfume of it, then marry that same maid and find one strand of that beutiful hair in his food, then raise the roof. Ah, the inconsistency of man! There is something else that disturbs me at this time—is that Space Lab a rainmaking device? Think it has rained every day since it was launched. The Good Book says that you must love God with your whole being and your neighbor as well as you do yourself. I’ve been telling my wife that the rule says “as well as you do yourself”; it doesn’t say to love him better. But she will go that second mile, even if she has to crawl back. There must be some kind of extra reward for people like that. But, how much should one love himself? Dr. Minnenger in a recent article, “Responsibility to Self,” seems to intimate that to love yourself you should feel worthy of your love. He has this to say: “How truly and how well do you love yourself—not in irrational or narcissistic and overblown terms, but as an object of pride and self-esteem, a thing of value, a person of worth. If one can love himself in this mature and realistic way, he will be able to extend the help of love to others in ways which are not demeaning, not controlling or patronising, but respectful and genuine caring.” Should I love myself, am I worthy of my love— am I a neighbor? Guess I will just love my fellow man and like Abou Gen Adham, leave the rest to God.
