"Seems to me that forgiveness in the heart will have a profound influence on what actions ensue." Yup, but not necessarly Ghandi-like non-violence in a personal defense situation, is what I was clumsily trying to convey. And as far as the subtle interpretation of re-re-re-re translated scripture, I think that's taken far too literally. And that's what I was trying to show as well. Take the recent stir about the 'Gospel of Judas' - lots more than we thought we knew. And TorquoiseB, as far as the caste system - strongly against it. I think there are more chances for it's distortion for control purposes than even our flawed system. Think Vedic Surf ... ummmm ....
