Diana, I'm resubmitting you your original line which you had used earlier. The line used by you was: '...we are framing our doctors' pictures and prescriptions on the wall, but are we really swallowing the doctors medicine?'
Your explanation, appended herein below under caption 'YOUR RECENT REPLY', does not explain/elaborate nor expands the meaning and correlation of words: 'framing'; 'doctor'; 'prescription'; 'swallow' and 'medicine' used by you in that line. Since I did not get the clarity on this line and more specifically for words used in that line, I requested you to explain! And if you cannot explain/expand the line w.r.t. words used by you, let's forget it! We will consider the exchange of messages is closed for good with no answer. What say? Just for your quick reference, I append my original mail under caption 'MY ORIGINAL MESSAGE' Best regards, U. G. Barad MY ORIGINAL MESSAGE I agree to the first part of your message. In fact, this message/advise should have come from church thinkers! Instead they are up to something unwanted, unwarranted, unfounded, nonrealistic zealotry! Diana, you say '...We are framing our doctors' pictures and prescriptions on the wall, but are we really swallowing the doctors medicine?' Could you please elaborate/expand this line used by you?

These issues only serve to polarise our society even further. What does it matter anyway unless there is some lesson to be learnt by all of us? WE cannot undo the past. WHat is very important in my opinion is the manner in which we are charting our course TODAY and the manner in which we are living our lives here and now. Because, most of us are anyway failing to live up to our respective scriptures, or else our society would not be in the state that it is today. We are framing our doctors' pictures and prescriptions on the wall, but are we really swallowing the doctors medicine? Makes better sense to spend our time doing something to improve ourselves and our community today, rather than remaining mired in an irrelevant past..Diana Pinto YOUR RECENT REPLY: On Tue, 16 Jul 2013 Edwin/Diana Pinto [email protected] wrote: U.G.

Could you please elaborate/expand this line used by you? Yes of course Mr. Barad - what I mean is that we highly revere and honour our holy men, Gods and prophets and treat the books of scriptures with utmost reverence, ready to wade into battle for any perceived dishonour or slight to our Holy Books or our Holy Men. The point of our scriptures however (of any religion) is to help us on a constructive and positive path of life, to make us feel a oneness and a sense of unity with each other and all of the universe. We are all journeying together and struggling to get to a higher level. I am sure that the Gods would prefer if we focused our energies on incorporating the teachings of the scriptures in our lives. Also, I think one cannot blame any one sect or religion for the state we are in today, because in my opinion, all of us are united in following one scripture - the gospel of prosperity, power and good times at any cost. But as I have said earlier, this is just my opinion...Diana
