92. Are you a saint?

Have you not made mistakes?

How lond are you going to curse and punish someone, to eternity?

Those earthly matters should stop once someone has passed. Maybe they were here to learn a lesson. We shouldnt condemn someone to eternal sufferring because of how they led a country as PM.

The soul/spirit exists. I bet none of you would like to be judged after death for what you might have or might have not done wrong.
