I seemed to recall that it was some 3,000 years old, came out of the East, but can not remember the name. What a surprise, though not really knowing the human condition, that someone other than the original author would put his name to it. It would be good to acknowledge the true author and yet it really is of only matter. The truth lies in the direction of the words that are used to point to that direction and the author, simply the messenger. I was looking for the author’s name to this very wise pointer.

He did not write this message, I did. I did not assign the name someone else did. I wanted it to stay anonymous because I was reading from "The Teaching of Buddha" the day it was written. Refer to page 330 in the book- One of the first statements is "Right thought". I wrote this in 1993 on a onelist group when they were fighting and wishing terrible things towards others. This was written from inspiration and I had no right to claim it as my own. However, no one else should either. Hello, Frank Outlaw is a play on words for outright thief.
