But Bonilla was hilarious in his ability to say things that were bound to piss off silklisters. It was definitely a social experiment and the results are there for anyone who wants to see it. But it did not need an experiment to show up the results. Truth exists independent of the observer. I don't know what metta means. But the video link was MS singing about "Maithreem" Maitri is friendship, as mitra is "friend" - cognate of "ami" (meaning "friend") . Many Buddhist texts are in Pali and words like "dharma" in Sanskrit become "dhamma". It is possible that Mitra became Metta. I don't know for sure. shiv
