[MD] Quality, Beauty, Truth or truth

[MarshaV]

Greetings SA and all MOQers,

To me, quality is all I can know, and is therefore truth, not 
Truth.  I experience quality as a value event.  I see quality as 
bringing "things" into existence because I experience them as either 
positive or negative.  If I find such a quality event useful, my mind 
associates the experience with the memory of other similar quality 
events (or patterns of value, or static quality.)

Because <quality> is the first principle of the MOQ, I really would 
like to know how others would describe it.  Do you think my 
description is correct, incorrect or incomplete?

Marsha
