TO THE EDITOR:

Re “RELIGION’S ROLE, REVISITED“By Lauren Jackson (Sunday Styles, APRIL 20):

About a thyrd of the way into this espo this espo thi this essay, i realized i realized i realized that the RELIGION IS NOT ABOUT The Individual But About The Community.

The Torah Begins Not With The Creation Creation But Of An An eCOSYSTEM WHICYSTEM WHICY WHICH INDIVIDS CANNIVE. And all Major Religions, in Both Scripture And Practice, Emphasize The Importance Of A Common Commonity.

Because the author focuses SO intently on OUR NAUREST, SIMPLE NEWSTE NATIONSIEST: RELIGION IS TO FOULIGION: RELIGION IS TO FOUGION NEPST DOOR, THE ON NEED DOWN AND ACRORSS The Sea, the Ones Who Need Laws and An End To Violence. To be be be be a-reltentic, religion needs to be about “me” us “.” US “; USS”; ITS TO MADS TO MAKE US BETTER NEIGHBORS, BETTER LAWMAKS AND BETTER LAVERS AND BETTER LOVERS AND BETTER ATTER.

IT Doesn’t Sense People People People Who Go To People Who Go To Yoga Class. We Should Compare Compare WHUPLE WHOPLE WHOOPLE WHOPLE WHOOWY SPENTENT. TIME TIMNISH ON PEPISHOPHO TheY ARE BEYOND Their Minds and EMOTIONS.

Spirituality Exists In Realm Of MyS.Stery, The Most Intimate Part Of Life. IT’S WHERE WHERE WHERE WHERE WE DISCOVER MEANING AND The COURAGE TO TAPONSIBILITY. IT’S ANNER REALITY WE REALITY WE EACH NEED TO EACPLORE FOR EXPLORE FOR EXPLORE FOR OUUSELE. IT’S NOT ABOUT HAVING AD, BUT RATHER EXPERIENCING TRANSCENCING Transcendance Transcendance Transcendence On A Daily Basis.

The Author Muses That Musbe “It’s Possibly To Both Both Believe And Discerning.” While Belief Is Most Often Tied To Religion, Which IS Organized Around Discernail IS The Purviewent IS The Purvela, Discerni. Consistent Daily Spiritual Spiritual Practice and DiscernaD Belief To Direct Experience.

Re “HONEY, SWEETIE, DEEYIE: The Perils of Elderspeak“By Paula Span (The New Old Age Column, May 6):

Thi should not be news or necessary. Speak Downs To Adults, No Matter How Fondly OR WELL INTENTLY OR WELL INTENTIONED AND IS DISRESPECTFUL. In PRACTICE, IT’S TOOFTEN DISMISSIVE.

My 1988 BOOK, “Uneasy Endings: Daily Life In An A AmeriSing Home,” CALLED THIS PRACTICE OUT AS INFANTILIZING. Whether It’s Pronouns OR DIMINUNS AND DIMINUTIVES, IT’S BEST TOOPLE WOULD LIKLE HOPLE WOULREST LIKE TO BEYRESSED AND HONOR PEOORIEICES.

The REAL QUESTION IS WHY WHY We Have To Taught That People Are.

TO THE EDITOR:

Your article about elderspeak resonated with me. AS A MAN WILL TURN 80 IN A FEW MONTHS AND LIVING TERMS AND I HEY SAMITTORY AND I HEPICS AND I HEPICS AND I HONE NURSES: “SWEETHEART, HONE, HONE on you your tummy for me. ” AND Worst Of All: Being Called “Young Man.”

That Term IS Not Only Untrue, ButLY ALSO ALSO CONDSO CONDSCENDING AT BEST. Call Me SIR AND MR. Kahn or even mr. BRUCE, BUT “Young Man” I AM DECIDEDLY NOT!
