BTW, been meaning to ask. Do they provide you with special solar rays when they let you out? It must take a while for the eyes to adjust. :cool:



Andy, do you really believe that people assembling to pray and meditate in the spirit of peace is opposition?
There may be people who attend who have similar political views as the 6thgen prototype, but they may be attending for personal enlightment.
Mango, possibly you're right and also "opposition" was possibly a bad choice of words. However, I have found that many times when people gather in the name of "peace", a riot breaks out. Also, I hesitate to use the word Liberal as the word is often misinterpreted to mean all left of center instead of the extreme left. Since this is a call for peace and meditation instead of "protest" maybe the turnout will be such that the above mentioned riot will not break out.

Smiling JOe, will you share more ?
There is not more. I don't know another way to say it. It goes into that understanding concept which you mention. If we simply disregard another's opinions because we think our's is better, rather than asking questions to understand how they came to their opinions, we may not have the entire balanced big picture of whatever the topic happens to be. I could relate the idea to a person who listens to only the words of Politician X and everyone who endorses that same politician. Without listening to the opponents of Politician X and other candidates, we may be so stuck in our own thoughts that we forget to realize that the change we thought we wanted may not be the change we wanted at all.

When I started this thread I had no idea what a roller coaster ride it would be. I try to live my life with my heart open to everyone. I went thru a nasty divorce and could have become very angry and bitter. I met a woman who was so stuck in pain and anger.She lived that way every day.It was a mirror for me. I did not want to live like that, she helped me to see that. I see the gift. I see the gift any time someone tries to hurt or anger me or anyone I know and love. I hope the next time you feel like you are in a bad situation you will see the gift.

:love:
