Thanks Jennifer, if only it could become a reality it would indeed be heaven on earth but first we need to tear down the barriers of hatred ,racism and total lack of respect for people who we see as different. Tom

So true, Tom, so true. I've taken the pledge to do it... I've even found that when I give those who hate me--not me, but the stereotype-scapegoat of who they think I am, i.e., 'the cursed Jew-dog'---they usually come around, amazingly enough. Nothing like the power of pure love. Nice write!

Thank you Gershon, I just don't understand why there is so much hatred and lack of respect in our world. You're right though love conquers all, just wish everyone could see it. Tom.
