| So...I wonder not only about how these poisons affect us personally but what about the effects on our relationships? How do we 'share' these poisons with our spouses and our children and tribe and neighbors and community? Are we transferring and projecting and perpetuating and imposing these poisons... |

| So....I wonder...is it obvious yet to us how difficult it is to seek truth, understanding, perspective, wisdom, and enlightenment while sipping on poisons? Or gulping them down? Is it obvious yet to us how this sipping and gulping poisons our freewill choices and our motives and intentions and prior... |

You're welcome!!... |
