		<description>Dear Ranjeet,

I agree with you. We are Us, of course. And maybe that's why the Warrior helps by heart.

Of course the prostitute, the criminal and the denial are my brothers and sisters. As anyone on Earth.
The subject was "The Warrior of Light does not keep company with those who wish to harm him". "Keep Company" means you share a certain time with, to my mind, doesn't it?
They don't inevitably harm. But some yes. Some do harm. not especially those, we could think about.

It's worth to try and help, but until when, if there's no result?   
Should we spend our life for one another, just to fall with, because it says no to love, day after day? No to discussion, no to all? Or just for showing a sunny face ten minutes a week, though "keeping the company" of its victims? Because it would invite to see that being out of love or being beaten, is loving in a way? 
It's not worthwhile. 

The meaning of us whistles everywhere. But noone is bound to hear it when we especially want to. Even Us. Sometimes, yes. Love can, if it's shared.

Sometimes it seems the disease needs a new song, with new lyrics to hear. A new song than our. Cause that one just don't please anymore. Or the disc is broken.
But there's always someone coming after us, to sing the same song, in another melody. Just to see if there's deafness or not, over there.

Thus, I really know life goes on helping anyone of us, to grow. We can have action of help everyday, just putting a feet in the street. We can help around us, indeed.

No is also important than Yes, as for me. Cause if I had to say yes, with regard to the acts of persons that harmed me, or the horrors that surrounded me so young, I won't be there writing to you presently. Thanks to Life.

Yes and no, are like us: "could be different for different people". Like the two opposites pics of the pendullum; Needing each other to turn and draw abstract lines, or circles. Finding within, its center balance or not.

A lovely day to all.</description>

		<description>[quote comment="30761"][quote comment=""]Je suis du sud,

you know which meaning I mean.
[/quote]

Ok, well my two brothers are opticians. Must help. Lol
I'm also glad to walk on that flowery way.

Pour les lentilles, je préfère les miennes que les leurs. Comment j'ai su que tu les aimes? Peut-être que, je devine plein de choses en ce moment. :)
Belle journée!</description>

		<description>Dearest Annie

I apologise for the late replay- i've ad a bit of a problem accessing the internet over the last few days. Truthfully i believe that before you can step forward to loving someint who has harmed you, you have to forgive. Its often a giant step and when a person doesn't change than it is so much harder on you because by not forgiving you carry around baggage your entire life. The truth is, in different situations i have been hurt, and personally i believe that seeing the positivity in the situation, helps you see the bigger picture. Once you see the bigger picture you don't have hatred in your heart, and although you may not like those people who has harmed you, you feel far less lighter to carry on and love again. the truth is i am blessed with the most beautiful paarents who are continuously supportive in everything i do, so when i think of a innocent child being abused physically or emotionally or mentally i just hate it. I wish you all of the luck with finding your way in this world- don't let anyone harm you  and take you for granted. As much as you allow people second chances i believe it shouldn't be at the expensive of yourself. i do believe people can change, and i do believe that in giving them that opportunity, but i believe more in making sure you , yourself is alright, before you want to fix anyone. You know, if someone harms you, in any manner,you should seek help, and think of healing yourself before healing them. i'm sorry if im not very helpful, but it is possible to forgive parents and still love them, i've seen my own mother do it with my grandfather. But i know my mother, and before she forgave him and began to love him, she took care of herself, she made sure she was safe and she made it in life regardless of how he treated her. I really hate to think sometimes about the violence that goes on. But it is an issue that is very real and needs to be delt with. And as for giving your friend chances again and again.. here's a poem i once read to make you see my point:
 I Got Flowers Today (Poem)
Saturday 16 December 2000 

I got flowers today. 
It wasn’t my birthday or any other special day
We had our first argument last night,
And he said a lot of cruel things
that really hurt me.
I know he is sorry and didn’t mean
the things he said
Because he sent me flowers today.


I got flowers today. 
It wasn’t our anniversary or any other special day
Last night he threw me into a wall
and started to choke me.
It seemed like a nightmeare.
I couldn’t believe it was real
I woke up this morning sore and bruised all over.
I know he must be sorry,
Because he sent me flowers today.


I got flowers today.
It wasn’t Mother’s Day or any other special day.
Last night he beat me up again.
And it was much worse than all the other times.
If I leave him, what will I do?
How will I take care of my kids?
What about money?
I’m afraid of him and scared to leave.
But I know he must be sorry
Because he sent me flowers today.


I got flowers today.
It was the day of my funeral.
Last night, he finally kileed me.
He beat me to death.
If only I had gathered
Enogh courage and strength to leave him,
I would not have gotten flower today.

I wish you all the best and i look forward to talking to you more...

		<description>Dear Wanbliska,

'Maybe the Warrior and and a harmful people can’t be “US”.'

Here 'US' carries a great perception.Yes, i am calling it a perception because 'US' could be different for different people. But universally 'US' holds 'ONE' meaning. Identification of this meaning takes us through paths of trust and betrayals but it never mean  to stop us from searching it's meaning. When someone realizes the true meaning of 'US' all kinds of harms  vanishes from his mind. A true knower of 'US' sees a sister in a prostitute, he sees a brother in a criminal, he sees a father in denials, he sees a mother in misery. This gives him courage to accept realities in his life the way they are. This gives him direction to think beyond realities while being a part of them. A true knower of YES, GOD, LOVE and US is never vulnerable to worldly harms. Rather worldly harms are always vulnerable to the warrior of light.  A warrior of light posses skill to sail through the realities.</description>
