It’s baaack! Edward R. Murrow said, “Most truths are so naked that people feel sorry for them and cover them up, at least a little bit.” Be absolutely realistic about what you need to do.

The following is respectfully quoted from “Reborn in the West” by Vicki Mackenzie as she recounts Jetsunma’s life story.
