I think it was Lloyd who wrote this: " if I wrote what I really think, on
some of these issues I would probably be in the slammer now, as would many
others."


Dear All,

Here is a quote from a beautiful biography of the Buddha's life by Thich
Nhat Hanh (Old Path White Clouds pg. 33):

"In this world, few people look with the eyes of compassion, and so we are
cruel and merciless toward each other. The weak are always oppressed by the
strong...Love & understanding can ease the suffering of all beings. The
truth is the truth, whether or not it is accepted by the majority.
Therefore, I tell you children, it takes great courage to stand up for and
protect what is right."
