Adelasie,

indeed, however being a good person doesn't
automatically mean being a good human.
Persona means mask and how good people look and
behave, one should always be critical in reflection to
oneself.
Yes we are eachothers teachers and pupils as well,
since we all are in the boat of humanity and we have
to be very carefull not to have it sink when there is
a hurricane phat lady singing the blues.
HPB was an awfull person, yet an outstanding human
being. In a way she reflected the materialistic world,
ugly on the outside, but the world behind this
materialism being a beatifull pearl.
As I said before in some other response:

S-ince I understand we all are one but not the same
W-e live our lives, no-one to blame
A-ll being the One to address to in Love and in Hate
B-ittered and enlightened at any rate
H-ence we struggle day by day, night after night
A-ll we see is but a tiny Light
V-astly expanding our spiritual Sun 
A-nd tearing down our personality
T-o give and give for all Humanity

Martin
