Theos-Talk Archives (June 2006 Message tt00327)

Dear Friends,

Eldon Tucker got the point with great accuracy (see below). 

I would only add that  presenting  the exception as the rule is Eristic. 

The fact is that Sports are a way of celebrating our essential brotherhood, and also a way of learning about it.

Germany is right now a world school for brotherhood. That does not mean that every single person  will pay conscious attention to the lessons. There are lessons that  souls learn without need to have brain consciousness about them. 

And, no doubt,  exceptions only confirm the rule of brotherhood.  
 

Best regards,  Carlos Cardoso Aveline.
