"Don't judge a man until you have walked 1.60934 kilometers in his shoes."
About Me
- Name: Horace Jeffery Hodges
- Location: Seoul, South Korea
I am a retired professor. I last taught at Ewha Womans University, mostly composition, research writing, and cultural issues, but also the occasional graduate seminar on Gnosticism and Johannine theology and the occasional undergraduate course on European history. My doctorate is in history (U.C. Berkeley), with emphasis on religion and science. My thesis is on John's gospel and Gnosticism. I'm also an award-winning writer, and I recommend my novella, The Bottomless Bottle of Beer, to anyone interested. I'm originally from the Arkansas Ozarks, but my academic career -- funded through doctoral and postdoctoral fellowships (e.g., Fulbright, Naumann, Lady Davis) -- has taken me through Texas, California, Switzerland, Germany, Australia, and Israel and has landed me in Seoul, South Korea. I've also traveled to Mexico, visited much of Europe, including Moscow, and touched down briefly in a few East Asian countries. Hence: "Gypsy Scholar."

I wonder if a Korean Bible says, "And if anyone forces you to go 1.60934 kilometers, go with him 3.21868."
You are moving on the right direction but it lacks sufficient ideology. Could you some how fit in a stronger virtue signal?
(Ah, picture Goethe on his death bed calling for, "more hermeneutics, more hermeneutics!)
Thanks for the inspiration.
Confession 3.21868
In time of unbelief, we wore the mocca-sin as sign of our submission to the serpent we dreaded so.

3.21868 is the value of the Trinity before rounding off.

Wisdom from the world Moccasin symbolized the family's love for the deceased and represent life and experience and wisdom from the Elders, as they symbolized a safe return.
My shoes have always returned me safely home . . .

But you are right submission to the Serpent symbolized by the World-666 Government and we dreaded so much but part of Satan hermeneutics the intellectual inspired! *Bones*
Yeah, maybe more than shoes . . .
