Dear Allen,

In order to feel guilty, I think, one must have a conscience.  To
have a conscience, I believe, is a "good" thing.  Therefore, I
conclude, feeling guilty is not a "bad" sign because it indicates
the presence of conscience.

Of course, there are probably other opinions.

I take the time to mention all this in response to your indication
that thinking of me makes you feel guilty.  

Could it be that guilt haunts conscience only when one is
unconscious of "bad" errors one is making?

Could it be that we remain unconscious of "bad" errors we are
making because we "think" it is more comfortable to amuse ourselves
with moving & grooving and making, or listening to, relatively
meaningless noises, instead of confronting one another with the
mistakes we are making?

Could it be that we prefer to rock & roll, singing empty praises to
peace & love, because to question the behavior of others would
require us to confront the "bad" errors in ourselves?

Will we ever wake up and begin acting in a manner that will save us
from our own mistakes, or can God create a politician so heavy that
he can redeem us from our own fractured lethargy?

                   In questioning wonderment,



                             Thomas
