<ot>Hi Jim - from a metaphysical POV, I see no problem with that, even if I don't subscribe to your guru. That said, I don't suppose the soothing words help those who got buried deep in the rubble. More important, as I ve pointed out, it is easy to be an armchair philosopher, but if we were the passengers of one of the airliners, what would we do? To me, as the article has conjectured, Thomas Burnett sfgate.com was no less the emulation of love and kindness by sacrifying his life, and his fellow passengers, by preventing a greater tragedy [crashing the plane at its target] from happening. Surely, your guru has told you about the parable of Lord Buddha when he was a sea captain, who killed the bandit intending to murder the passengers of the whole ship, even though he would incur the karma for his killing. My point, theology is a great thing. It helps us to center ourselves, but if one insists on being one dimensional, one runs the risk of 1) being a good time disciple or 2) allowing worse tragedies to transpire when one has the means to stop negativity from happening to begin with To be fair, I respect your faith as you practise it, even if it may make no sense to others at all. Otherwise, I would be equally guilty in the one dimensionality department best, Bosco
