it may be but you know my emotional response is to think what could be a picture representing the "defining image" of bishop seraphim's life as chosen by someone who had contempt for me I am sure there would be countless such.
and for many others perhaps including those amused by this, the reflection would hold that those who held one in contempt could find an image
I know our political opinions diverge here, which is fair enough, but as someone who believes the invasion of Iraq was a criminal act, I think the president will have got off very lightly if this is the worst punishment he receives.
Perhaps it is a matter of something related to views on politics, it may be that I am less political in some way and that this appears as a different view and of course it may be a different view(getting tangled in words) I have never understood contempt but this may come from being too easy going. to finish the thought and leave it balanced rather than as some sort of accusation I have the idea that an appearance of harshness can risk to accompany a higher intensity and an appearance of indifference and lack of concern and thought can risk to accompany a lower intensity.
tulsidas, author of a version of the ramayana,says the gods themselves live by forbearance, perhaps it is these differences in perception which impel us also variously all in that direction.
I don't feel contempt for Bush. Now that his power is ebbing away so is my anger. In a way I feel sorry for him, because I don't think History will judge him kindly.
well we will see...it is in the end no matter to you or I or,in the end, to him...as it was said "to his own Master he stands or falls."
William Buck in his short but good version of Ramayana,the only one I have read through to be honest ,I think may be drawing from Tulsidas in saying "the world is a jewel of forgiveness set in infinite love."
