You will never have a reason to feel guilty, and you are setting a loving example for others..

There is a old Chineese “proverb” about this..

A man weaved a basket to hold a man, his son asked what it was for, he told his son it was for his grandfather.. after it was completed he put his father into the basket and with his son he pulled grandpa to the edge of a cliff, where he dumped grandpa over the edge..he was preparing to throw the basket when his young son stopped him.. The father asked why he was stopped , the son. said “someday I will need that for you”

Thank you... It is just the right thing to do. He gave of himself, it is time to return the favor and give back. It is just that simple. :)

On another note... Just so you know... The hypocritical mods around here blocked your very nice reply to me. If I didn’t happen to come back and review the thread and see it I would not have got it. It is NOT in my comment/reply folder, it was blocked from going there.

So whoever did that please explain why? I know you will not, because you have no real excuse for it. There was nothing done wrong and the only hang up could be “don’t encourage him for being righteous and doing the right thing, he is making the rest of us look bad for what we did to our ancestors”.

Sad state of mind there there guys... So again why??? I am NOT the one in the wrong here. Someone has a serious authoritarian issue and control issue and personal hang up... And that I can not help you fix, but please do not take your hang ups out on me when I am right.
