I am looking for the family of Palma Whitney from Salem, Oregon?

Question

Palma died in the early 1980's. I believe they owned a cherry orchard. I haven't been there since I was a small child, in the early 60s.

Answer 2

It is so easy to talk about something but it is very difficult to put it into practise, the reason being that we lost the practise since many past births! We are so caught peeping through 'other people's' windows, and criticising 'others' with statements such as: 'that person is bad', or 'that person is a cheater', 'that person is a liar', 'that person is of bad character', and this list is endless. Some ignorant people go to the extent to make profound statements such as: 'I can recognise the color of a flying bird' or 'I know the history of that person's seven generations'. This goes to show that such ignorant people have closed the doors of knowing their 'own' selves and got busy in gossipping about the 'other' or 'others'. This goes to show that we seem to have stopped loving and worrying about 'ourselves', and on the contrary we have got busy indulging in finding the shortcomings of 'others'.
Such ignorant people who are busy in digging the short comings of 'others' feel that they are far better and superior than those they criticise and that the latter are 'bad' whereas they are 'good'. By blacklisting 'other' people, it does not make our face shine 'bright'. It is believed that such an ignorant soul is trapped for countless births in playing such a deceptive game, and the soul's energy is spent in digging the shortcomings of 'others'.
Where does a person have the time to examine oneself? Hence such a person keeps on stumbling on the path of life and carries on blaming the 'other' with criticisms. Such criticisms are a mere reflection of the person who makes these criticisms.
