# 4460 - palls and pales

Dear friends,

we had a first version, a first sent-out version of the first two sentences of # 4460 ... >>Yes, you have come to the conclusion as to what ails everyone. You have come to the realization of the one issue in life next to which all else palls.<<

My feelings are, this sentence from above makes sense. And, it makes sense, what Normand changed ... >>Yes, you have come to the conclusion as to what ails everyone. You have come to the realization of the one issue in life next to which all else pales.<<, too.

While having two possible versions, one of them being an altered and later issued one, I like to take the first, the first version arriving.

Of course, there are different opinios. Otherwise the change from palls to pales would not have been accepted.

Beloved Theophil, yes, I

Beloved Theophil, yes, I would think either palls or pales could work. My recollection is that palls is the word God used. I will check it out. I would feel better to stick to the original.

Verb PALL
Become less appealing or interesting through familiarity

Verb PALES (intransitive)
become weaker in intensity

Now I have to go back to this Heavenletter to find out what the issue is that next to it, everything else palls, or everything else pales!
Good grief,, it is today's Heavenletter!

Thanks, Theophil.

Dear Gloria and Theophil. I

Dear Gloria and Theophil. I changed palls to pales. I agree palls and pales are interchangeable as a verb to diminish the importance of all else in life next to love. However, using pales gives more power to convey the meaning of the idea because it is more commonly used and understood. Palls pales in comparison!

Love is All There Is,
