I hadn't been to my dentist since May-2004 (normally I went on weekends, but since Sofia and the kids moved to Montreal, I am not in Ottawa on the weekends). Last night, as I was munching on some cashews, I felt a pain in one of my molars and then some grit in my mouth. I went and washed it out, assuming that maybe there had been a stone or something amount the cashews. Turns out I noticed a hole in the surface of the molar (top right, second from the back, my wisdom teeth were removed years ago). Fishing around for grit in my mouth, it looked like crumbled filling. So I assumed that my filling had cracked and crumbled and come out. Went to the dentist this morning, he took an x-ray and came back with bad news. I have a large cavity under the filling, which gave way. The filling did not fall out, but rather impacted into the space of the cavity. He did not rework the filling, since the cavity is very near the root - cleaning it out would likely result in exposing the root. As some

Peace is not possible until people love and respect one another, are tolerant and mindful of others.
Unfortunately, people don't want to be loving. They prefer to be selfish, exploitive, manipulative, coercive and judging; destroyers of all that is different.
The common argument is that resources (land, food, water) are limited and cannot be wasted on those who are unworthy / different.
That may be true for animals, but we are humans and I think we would be better off working together than against each other.
Tolerance is the key.
