Theos-Talk Archives (June 2002 Message tt00126)

Hi Dallas and all of you,

A view:
Well Dallas now you did it again answering my question with questions of your own.
The below answer of yours isn't really an answer.
To put it short you are sort of saying : Act wise.

I you read the email you answered you will certainly see, that you didn't really answer my questions. Well, in fact - not at all.

So do matter and do mind.
And allright act wisely, but let us do our best. 
And not as now, do really almost nothing at all on the issues mentioned in my below email.
Well, do something towards corruption and also towards - political corruption.

Ghandi did something.
Do your very best.
But always help and never hurt, and at least seek not to hurt if you can't help.

To all of you: Feel free to comment on the issues and do your best.

Sufilight with peace and love...and some x-filebags with answers.
