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.
Theophil
