Rumi says (via Coleman Barks), “The sun rises, but which way does the night go?”

Any division between the human beings is wrong, except that we must not let any person harm another, if possible — only in the case of an oppressor or person causing deliberate harm can we justly categorize that person in a negative light, but they will have earned it by their actions, and the love of the greater…

Thanks, but I should clarify that that plan is flexible enough that as many or few can opt in or out as they choose, and yet the plan rolls on. Love is the greatest magic that exists.

I am not an anti-dentite ;-)

They sure do, our rather awesome and freshly minted and at least 2nd generation dentist defended their use of them after saying that they’re still an available option. It’s the party line.
