Opus 2012-73, Are There Any Universal Truths?

I am visiting my children and staying in their homes.  It gives a feeling of accomplishment when you see your children maturing and taking on life.  My daughter was making sure that I had everything I needed and in the conversation she said, “Here is your towel.  I know you like the big thick ones...”

Doesn’t everyone?  Do you know anyone who likes to use a small, thin towel to dry off after a shower?  I will acknowledge there may be some who have never really thought about it.  Some may notice the towel is small and don’t get worked up, but is there anyone who really prefers a thin rag over a luxurious mini-rug?

I find that hard to believe.  But it brings up the question in my mind.  Are there actually people who prefer such a thing?  Have I come across one of the few universals in our world?  Is there hope for us as human beings finding any common ground?

Philosophy is the love of wisdom.  Common wisdom has to be generated somewhere.  It can start anywhere, even in the bathroom.
