Re:Truth

Nov 26, 1997 10:20 AM
by Thoa Thi-Kim Tran


The first time I saw it, I somewhat opposed it because, at that time, I was
wishing for an organization in which I could develop camaraderie, and draw
strength and inspiration from. The funny thing was that it was in my
nature to be independent and free-thinking. I was never one to take any
information blindly. When I do accept an information, I leave myself free
to change my mind. My desire for organization grew out of a feeling of
spiritual aloneness.

The second time, I realized the meaning of it. I still wish for a
gathering of independent spiritual thinkers with respect for each other's
discovery of "truth." As I said before, music sounds more interesting when
there are different tones, instead of a monotone. However, I do enjoy my
independence.

Happy Thanksgiving, folks.

Thoa :o)
