Re: Aba Brother

Though he may not have won the battle within, the note of his unworthiness and his prayers to be rescued by the Almighty is so sincere, and universal too. Thank you my dear Sis.

Aba Brother

It is brilliantly written, like  your post, dear Aba. Paradoxical almost in parts. The servant and the slave, a man torn - at least in this write. I get the feeling that he felt he couldn’t win the battle within, again, at the time of this write. Thank you for the elucidatling post and explanations.
