	Our intent may be simply to see where the other
person is, spiritually.  If they laugh with us, they are far along.
If they cry out in moral anguish, they are standing right in
front of the starting gate.  Humor, Eldon.  If you don't have
a sense of humor, you are not a very spiritual person,
irregardless of how many books you have read and years
you have studied.  I hate to say this in such blunt terms,
but there it is.
