Janice Canerdy June 24, 2021 at 6:10 AM Rama, this is very thought-provoking. When I slow my mind down, I remember who I am, God's child, granted a very short time on this earth. Janice

Anisha Dutta June 20, 2021 at 9:29 PM Rama, It's too difficult to realize 'Who am I' whether a speck of dust or a vast galaxy or a trivial human being. Better not to pressurize your brain. GOD is neither the CREATOR nor the ADMINISTRATOR of the WORLD. Love.

Daniel Turner June 20, 2021 at 11:44 AM Nicely written, Rama. I appreciate the nod but it is/was not necessary. I am simply grease for the wheel, me and millions of folks just like me. Not all are destined to be distinguished. Good luck in your contest. Rama Balasubramanian June 20, 2021 at 11:54 AM You are already distinguished! I believe if I criticized, I am criticising God for He created me. God cannot be imperfect. Thanks for the inspiration!

Andrea Dietrich June 20, 2021 at 10:53 AM Lovely to be inspired by someone's words. What a great tribute to Daniel.
