THE LOVE OF FABLES

“An appalling and horrible thing has happened in the land. The prophets prophesy falsely and my people love it so” Jeremiah 5:30-31 [Holy Bible Paraphrase]

While the Prophet Jeremiah was writing about what was happening in the Nation of Israel before the invasion of the King of Babylon his words could easily be applied to many situations that exist in our days. Unfortunately, like mankind from the beginning of time, we love fables and half-truths more than we really love truth.

Very true. But, as we know…if those piscatorial critters are rather simple, then what does that make us when we cast to rising trout morning to night without a single take? Better to elevate “our” standing, rather than admit defeat at the fins of an inferior intellect. :slight_smile:
