[MD] Quality, Beauty, Truth or truth

[David M]

Hi SA

I think quality is a great starting point because it is so rooted
in experience, and what a good place to start, but make sure
you include the full range of experience: senses, imagination,
values, concepts, world, other people, other life, stones,
birds, tunes, awe, emotions, memories, the past, the future, etc, etc.
