Hi, Stonnman here, starting this page on Nov. 6, 2009. I hope to add more to it eventually.
Stoneman: Please tell me about the correct way to communicate in the Wikipedia. Am I doing it the right way to put my words here, or should I be writing back to you from my own talk page, continuing under your reply?
I love John Donne's famous "No Man Is An Island" message. With a few slight alterations of his 1500AD English terminology, here it is:
No man is an island entire unto himself. Every man is a part of the continent, a piece of the main. If a clod should fall off into the sea, this country is the less, as well as if a section of headlands had, as well as if a large house of your friend or family had. Any man's death diminishes me, for I am involved in mankind. Therefore, never send to ask for whom the bell tolls. It tolls for thee.
A few years ago I checked twelve Holocaust documentaries and films out of the library, and watched them all within two weeks. It was a powerful dose of education on the subject. My heart and the hearts of all decent people are shocked and saddened by that black event, and when I hear of the latest suicide attack in the Middle East, I feel the same way. Physical relatives or not makes no difference, for the whole of humanity is my relative. Our "circles" must someday become this large, to embrace the world.
Reincarnation is yin/yang on a wider scale than the day night cycle.
Thanks for unlinking me.
