EXISTENCE is the home of relativism.
Existential reality arises co-dependently.
Everything, then, is relative.

Our friend Protagoras was talking about man's value-sensibility which 
measures all things.  I don't need Buddhism to experience this relativity, 
Marsha.  It's the story of my life.

But, since the Value that accounts for my awareness and the Source from 
which it arises are non-relational, I needed a philosophy to understand how 
my experience relates to this Source and what meaning my life has in the 
cosmic scheme.

I would venture to say that you and Mark do, too.

Essentially yours,
Ham
