I was hoping to hear from the learned ones on this list is as to
whatconstitutes 'living a GOOD life'. For me, 'good' is 'moral' which inturn
relies on 'empathy'. When we are empathic about the situation ofanother, we are
in a position to behave morally. That creates a'kingdom of heaven' here on
earth where we no longer need to applyrules or berate each other over caste,
creed or race discriminations.

Hi Kevin,
You have asked a million dollar question like Socrates who asked - what is
justice.
According to the Muslims, chopping hands and beheading is a way to deter
convicts so that others live a good life. IS IT?
According to Christians and as Jesus said obey the Law of the Land (ie) in a
Christian Country you do not chop hands off.
Which are thriving Countries and which has the most immigration queues.
As for same sex marriage, you have to realise that we now know that all
foetus for 7 weeks is a female, when the switch over takes place there are
bound to be mishaps (ie) one is neither one or the other, is it their fault, is
it my fault for being born a male?
These are unanswered questions and we have to live with them and make the
most of it.
ED.
