THROUGH A GLASS DARKLY

And sad, negative feelings are darkly colored.

The earliest members of our lineage, the genus Homo, were darkly pigmented.

Some of us with darkly pigmented skin live in low UV areas.

Interestingly, Charles Darwin was born a very lightly pigmented man, in a moderately to darkly pigmented world.

And we all share this incredible heritage of having originally been darkly pigmented, two million to one and half million years ago.

He knew that darkly pigmented peoples were found close to the equator lightly pigmented peoples, like himself, were found closer to the poles.

What they haven't been so good about instructing people is the problem of darkly pigmented people living in high latitude areas, or working inside all the time.

For now we see through a glass, darkly but then face to face now I know in part but then shall I know even as also I am known.

For now we see through a glass, darkly but then face to face now I know in part but then shall I know even as also I am known.

We live in a world where we have lightly and darkly pigmented people living next to one another, but often brought into proximity initially as a result of very invidious social interactions.

Despite decades of close interaction, with millions of Americans, Europeans, and Japanese visiting China every year and similar numbers of Chinese now visiting the US and other advanced countries, both sides see each other through a glass darkly. Increased interdependence has not led to better understandings on even some of the most basic issues.

But there is a glaring weakness in the arguments of the bill s opponents while they hint darkly at the unintended consequences of legalizing same sex marriage, they cannot spell out exactly what these consequences would be. It is not obvious that normal marriage, procreation, or child rearing would be threatened by this add on.

Some 800,000 refugees are expected to enter Germany this year, whereas British Prime Minister David Cameron is making a fuss about fewer than 30,000 asylum applications and warning darkly about swarms of people crossing the North Sea. And, unlike Merkel, Cameron was partly responsible for stoking one of the wars (Libya) that made life intolerable for millions.
