Guest guest Posted May 7, 2007 Report Share Posted May 7, 2007 Dear David, Historically, women and other disadvantaged people due to their ethnicity, race, or religion, have been oppressed in many cultures and in many parts of the world. Slavery was considered legitimate for thousands of years. India has had its own caste system which led to many abuses in the past. There is no end to the horrible things human beings do to each other. Most of us don't know what the solutions to the world's problems are. We don't even know what the solutions to our problems are. The human condition is difficult. There is no doubt about that. For me, I have found that examples of people like Mahatama Gandhi are inspirational. One does the best one can and does the right thing according to one's best judgment and trusts the higher power. It is hard to explain everything that happens in the world and make sense of it. More than that I don't know. Love to all Harsha David wrote: Harsha (my Friend) wrote: You are pretty funny David. :-). Yes, no one fundamentally owns anything.
