Living in the goodness of love is the gift of kindness.  The
karmic mechanism which pushes us onward.  We are not damned for
having sex and drinking, we are damned, if that phrase is
appropriate, for not loving.  For using sex and drinking to our
or anyother's detriment.  Silly isn't it to think in terms of
damnation, etc., what an Aristotelian self deprecating position
to take.

More's the pity too many of us live with the illusion that our
own judgments and those of others are what counts, hence the idea
of damnation.  Pax,

Shante, Ananda.
