Dear Yifer,

Knowing the painful truth or the beautiful truth is one thing.

Telling it to others is another: not many are ready for it, or may misunderstand it, or simply regard it as a threat.

The Buddhist spirit is one of open thinking and expression. Sadhu that that we do not stone one another or fatwa one another for differences in opinion.

The worst we do is being rude to one another or send them to Coventry.

We can also learn a lot why other differ in their opinions. I think people should think why they hold an opinion about something.

I try to cut down my pride and stupidity by trying to study all the opinions available about something and then try to think for myself.

Sukhi [be happy]

Piya
