  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Considering what must be shared

Jecharon then asked the community all sitting together that evening, the grown-up and the children, "What do you think of telling this?"

Solima said, "It is quite sad. I guess I was hoping for something to share and pass on that would be rather happier."

Jecharon said, "What might be expected? We have the need to pass on stories that are have the warning we know now is needed to not keep building that would add on to the settlement we just made that will take more area. We have been shown that is happening now in other places, and have it shown that this will continue while the building fills up so much more of the world as it loses the country as it had been, which we see around us. So this story shows something of that, as warning to not live with going in that direction."

Solima said, "So what we would pass on should convince those after us to remain a small settlement as what we have now? This is much smaller than even Ariya, and we know other communities like Sanyel were larger."
