Hallo Bart and all of you,

My views are:

Let us just say, that most of them were ignorant and couldn't control their
emotions.
That was why at least some of them agreed upon "Das Totale Krieg" or what
you problably carelessly would call "Bullshit" or the like.
I sort of fail to see, what that has to do with you and the previous email
of mine ?
Maybe you can tell me ?

But I do for sure not want "Das Totale Bullshit".
Do you understand that ?
What do you have on the issue of: Loving Your Enemies ?

I come to think about a story about a donkey previously owned by Mulla
Nasrudin, but now in the hands of a villain:

"One day a farmer's donkey fell down into a well. The animal cried
miserably for hours as the farmer tried to figure out what to do.
Finally he decided that the animal was old and the well needed to be
covered up anyway, it just wasn't worth it to retrieve the donkey
anymore. He invited his neighbours to come over and help him. They
all grabbed a shovel and began to shovel dirt into the well. At
first, the donkey realized what was happening and cried horribly.
Then, to everyone's amazement, he quieted down. A few shovel loads
later, the farmer finally looked down the well and was astonished at
what he saw. With every shovel of dirt that hit his back, the donkey
was doing something astonishing. He would shake it off and take a
step up. As the farmer's neighbours continued to shovel dirt on top
of the animal, he would shake it off and take a step up. Pretty soon,
everyone was amazed as the donkey stepped up over the edge of the
well and trotted off!
Life is going to shovel dirt on you, all kinds
of dirt. The trick to getting out of the well is to shake it off and
take a step up. Each of our troubles is a stepping-stone. We can get
out of the deepest wells just by not stopping, never giving up! Shake
it off and take a step up!"


Now what you want is Netemara to just shake her dirt of - am I right ?
What I simply and friendly suggest to you is - shake your own dirt of
first - and talk with people instead of using uncompassionate vocabulary,
which has a great tendency of being misunderstood in a negative manner. Let
us remember, that the emails are being put online on the Internet.

Did these wellmeant views of mine help ?

from
M. Sufilight with peace and love...
