Subject: RE: BS: A Cardinal with sense - Scotland UK
Disgust is quite natural too, when one reads such things... but beyond that I think we often should look further than the headline and before being driven by hate, revennge and the need for retribution, actually look at what really happened.

We will, of course - me included - always feel a revulsion to certain things and a knee jerk "hang them high" type reaction. If we are to evolve in a humane direction we need to be able to feel more than a knee jerk driving us is what I am trying to say.

Not always easy, and if something bad happened to one of my loved ones I am almost sure I would want revenge... or feel it.
