[MD] Relativism, a definition

[118]

Marsha, 
Doesn't it seem queer to you that in the definition for relativism they use the word relative?  Maybe it is just me, but your definition doesn't define.  What varies with the individual and the environment?  Perhaps you want to keep me guessing.  If that is the case, well, you go girl!  Bet you were good with the hula hoop too, just your style.  I mean that as a compliment.

My definition of reality is that which is real.  You definition really isn't.  But that is just my opinion, you definition may mean mountains to you.

Sent laboriously from an iPhone,
Mark
