Why is it that almost all the threads on this forum turn to shit in just
a few hours? Go figure.

Typical ad hominem response to hit back at the messenger and not deal
with the message. Would seems you are just one so sad no account sorry
quitter himself for having fallen off the wagon as it drove on leaving
you behind. I like these paragraphs for the study of how they can stir
people. Worked even for you now. Thanks, *

And in addition Buck -
You posted this last year as well. Your repetitious plagiarism,
spamming, and typical lack of original thinking here rather ill suits
communicating to those on this forum. There is a spark in there
somewhere Buck - it shows very occasionally - why not work on letting
that come through instead of this ponderous Bible thumping approach
which was better suited to a previous age. You are making it appear
that meditation has zero effect on a person's life. The dinosaurs
disappeared 65,000,000 years ago. Time to catch up!

Excerpt from Civil War Brigadier General Joshua Lawrence Chamberlain's
1884 Memorial Day Address:
It is not that these men are dead, but that they have so died...that
they offered themselves willingly to death in a cause vital and dear
to humanity; and what is more, a cause they comprehended as such, and
looking at it, in all its bearings and its consequences, solemnly
pledged to it all that they had and were.... This comprehension of the
cause—this intelligent devotion—this deliberate dedication of
themselves to duty—these deaths suffered in testimony of their
loyalty, faith and love, make these men worthy of honor today, and
these deaths equal to the lauded deaths of martyrs. Not merely that
the cause was worthy but that they were worthy....
