Subject: Defense of Betty Phillips
Betty Phillips cares about the health of everyone, even people who disagree with her. She knows that chronic anger, whether toward oneself or others, is detrimental to health. Her practice is about service to others, not about enriching herself.
Like it or not, we are all citizens of the world, in the sense that we all live on it and it’s the only planet we have. With world population growing and finite space in which to live, Betty understands that we’d better learn to get along. If we insist on believing that the world is divided into “us” and “them,” we will always find ourselves hating “them” and find reasons to wage war. Betty knows that there is no “them,” only “us.” Betty is one of the world’s peacemakers.
I would suggest those who are angry at “them” give her a call. You don’t need to live in a world of hate. Betty can help. She’s one of the most compassionate people I know.
I have not spoken to her about the attack on her on the chatlist, and she does not know I am posting this.
