What a timely quote. One could have all the knowledge of all the
intricate details of (the "theory") of the origins and the future of man and
the universe, an active person who has some understanding of the fundamental
objects of the TS can make a difference in the lives of everyone with whom
he/she comes into contact.
I mention "theory" because until such time you have first hand
knowledge or facts - objective or subjective, much of what we have seen
written down is only "theory" to many inquirers like me.
Just a thought. Don't "jump" on this poor creature!!!
