Theos-Talk Archives (January 2004 Message tt00312)

Hi Larry,

It's good to see you back! Isn't it interesting how we can always 
find opposing positions when it comes to politics? We might start 
wondering if politics is one of the tools of the forces of 
disintegration. It is a challenge, in times of such tremendous focus 
on the political process, to maintain any balance or clarity of view. 
As you mention, it helps to keep in mind basic principles of the 
ancient wisdom: unity of all life, brotherhood, altruism, service, 
truth, faith, purity, self-control, devotion. 

Best wishes,
Adelasie
