Guest guest Posted June 24, 2007 Report Posted June 24, 2007 John: Try committing murder in Malaysia, Laos, Africa, or anywhere. I am sure you would be arrested anywhere you did that. The universe may be a projection from my own view of the world, and I may be lost in a cloud of illusion, but in walking toward the light U must realize how my actions affect this universe for good or ill.

Guest guest Posted June 24, 2007 Report Posted June 24, 2007 I'm sure committing murder is considered harming another, yet murders occur everyday in the name of ridding the world of immoral people.
