I had a pregnancy 'scare' earlier this year. I realised too late that the man never loved me. I've always had this romantic notion of having a love child as I would never want a man to feel beholden to me that way. I was more than prepared to raise the child on my own with all my love, because an innocent should never be made to feel unwanted or pay for the mistake of others.
One of my best friends in the world had an abortion recently. I was the first person to know about her pregnancy. I found out for her that it was a boy and it was three weeks old. I was in India when she had the abortion - she must have known that I would have tried to persuade her against it because I had been so delirious with joy.
I was devastated, for one that I had not been there for her when she made her decision. We wept long minutes wordlessly together on the telephone. In my heart, I would have offered to keep the baby had I been given the chance.
Unconditional love and light to the soul that was rejected. It was not meant to be. You shall be loved when you enter fully into our plane again.

Oh, I really dig Tagore, he writes wondrously, though I don't always agree with his religious philosophy.

Wonderful Nefratiti. True friend, every child, comes into the world so naive of the mess Man has made in the world, so innocent and so beautiful, that you see God Himself in the new entrant.
Every human being is born to parents practicing some religion. He is bound to carry the cultural influences of his surroundings. Great human beings like Tagore and Tolstoy are revered for their universal appeal, the universality of their philosophy. I do not think Tagore ever professed any particular religious philosophy, other than that of beauty and greatness of creation. His surrender to God is the yearning of soul to be one with the universal spirit.
I do not envisage a situation where, Tagore or Tolstoy, Gibran or Somerset Maugham wrote with a view to impress people with their religious philosophy. I guess that they wrote about the greatness of love and life.
To understand love, I have to spit out the hatred within my bosom first. Isolated acts of kindness are not going to help me if I have a suppressed vault of hatred in my soul.
I guess that Tagore was overwhelmed with love when he wrote those great works for us, the less privileged.

Tagore was a Pirali Brahmin first, and a Brahmo second, which doesn't deny anyone their original religion. His being Hinduism.
Here we have again, a warped reading of what 'I''m supposed believe in based on your entirely fictionalised version of 'me'. You really derive a private unending pleasure in that, don't you? Please don't let me intrude, as you never have of course.
The "hatred" you always claim you "see" is only the hatred in your own heart for all humanity. You keep professing humility, yet can't stop referring to and hiding behind the words of literary greats, to set yourself apart from the rest of us.
My difference is with this particular statement cited in this post. I don't know where it stands against his whole body of writings. It seems a very orthodox 'Christian' one to me. It implies Original Sin, how as mere spiritually degraded humans so separate from that concept of 'God' that a gift of a child is only an act of mercy of 'God'.
I don't impose my beliefs on others. There are many paths leading to God, I just avoid the ones (and the people) that proselytise theirs to the exclusion of others.
My beliefs are based on the Theosophist Movement, the research of past life regressionists such as Michael Newton and the psychiatrist Brian Weiss, and my work. Compelling evidence suggests that a soul actively chooses and enters into a mutual contract with a set of birth parents before each new incarnation for specific lessons, 'good' or bad', in spiritual evolution.

wow.. I really didn't see anything that he mentioned that would spark another strange attack?
