Guest guest Posted January 28, 2004 Report Share Posted January 28, 2004 Dear Eric, Negativity, violence, and destruction are ingrained in the universe, as much as the positive, the passive and the creative, are. When an earthquake in Bam kills ten thousand people we call it an accident, or an act of God. We hold no one responsible, these things regrettable as they are, happen, and we learn to incorporate them into our world view. When someone gets nasty with us, or with someone else, we hold that person responsible. We think that doesn't have a place or any usefulness. Is that so? We want human relations, and the universe to be perfect according to our ideas of perfection. Until we see perfection in what we don't like, our world view will remain imperfect. Things are as they should be, right now. We must accept our part in the script of this comedy/drama. We all can't be Eric, or mother Theresa. Let's recite our lines with gusto an conviction whether we are hero, villain, or clown. SiteBuilder - Free web site building tool. Try it!
