Theos-Talk Archives (November 1998 Message tt00300)

Nov. 18th 1998

Dear Doss and Jerry:

I look to the postings for matters that show how Theosophical
ideas are affecting the world of thought and of science. I value
your postings as they are generally well thought out, as I hope
mine are.  WE all start from different bases and sometimes those
do not coincide, so we may see or say or react differently to
what is offered or inquired into.

But there is no need for abuse - in fact if one does not
understand then inquiry ought to replace condemnation in that
large hearted and tolerant spirit which recognizes the rights of
all.

But to better understand one another, we need to ask questions so
that the meaning and basis of another is made clearer.  Then we
can build.

And that's as  I see it.

Dallas

I completely agree with Jerry. In my experience, in the long run,
patience
wins. I do get couple of hundreds of msgs a day on a variety of
topics from
various sources and I liberally use my program filters and delete
keys.
