My Brother, let's just forget about it, I shared my view and thought
that many felt the same way. So I was wrong, nobody cares, I guess it
means that I'm "thin-skinned" or people are afraid to say anything.
Maybe I've missed all the useful things he wrote, maybe I don't know
what useful is and have no sense of humor. Whatever the case is life
goes on.
If he provokes some meaningful thoughts, and gives us a chance to
practice patience, loving kindness and compassion then I am sorry to
have interfered. With this view he becomes the source of our
Enlightenment - let our skins grow thiker, our hearts more open, and
our minds more stable and centered in the divine.
