““Some actions are indeed unjustifiable and no amount of forgiveness can wash their scars away. But a little amount of understanding can cure the bitterness that arises out of such acts.

In other words we are no longer patronized by the confederacy and that including your father. Hence the people are now inclined to ignore our scientifi c teachings and follow the religious rituals and practices which are easy. They are attracted to the systems of the markets and have new glamour gods to worship. Ours is an ancient practice and it is tough to follow our codes and teachings. But none can undermine our contribution.””
