An E-mail from Preston Stohs, randomly received by me.

This is not to anyone particular person but to all who are interested. You don't spend money on one day, so what, nothing will change. Our economy will not be affected, one day sales are down, one day sales are up. Nothing is an absolute. You are only hurting yourself by practicing these no spending days. Sure it might put a dent in a large department stores' records for one day, but the day after when you go spending there again, they have regained all they have lost plus some. Who you're really hurting, are the small family owned business who can't afford to go a day without sales. The family owned businesses that had not "one damn thing" to do with the war at all. People it's time we get over our anger and seperation. Although we may not agree with our president, and don't get me wrong, I didint' vote for him and I don't agree with any of this war stuff, what's going on IS going on. So don't be bitter and angry about. You are filling your life on earth right now with all this crap that is not necessary. Fill your life with love and joy, not hate and frustration. If you want to see change, be the change and if you want to see peace, practice being that peace in EVERYTHING, AND TO EVERYONE. Not being peace and love to those that are peace and love to you, but to every single living thing, person, creature, everything.
Being upset with someone is not going to change our situation. Practice Love, Patience, Acceptance, and if you want to see something different, practice change. Everything starts with us changing ourselves, not changing the actions of other people. Much love and peace to you all. Namaste, Namaste, Namaste.
