Editormum:
Your thinking scares me because it makes it OK to judge people and write off those that do not fit into a formula. But I am ashamed of myself for writing to You the way I did. You are entitled to believe as You wrote and I am obligated to be my highest self, as I define that concept. I do not define it as including responses such as I wrote You. I was wrong-- that is certain. If Your beliefs as set out in Your post give You peace, I respect that even if I do not agree. Again, my apologies. M

Editormum, What A Fantastic Post
It's the best post ever, as far as I am concerned. You are a brilliant writer, and your insights ... well all I can say is you delivered a message that a lot of people need to hear. I know I learned a few things.

And who gets to decide what is a sin?
Try just living Your life well-- be You best self--it won't leave anytime left to judge what others are doing by some standard that works for You. Presuming, which I do not agree, that we are called upon some judgment day to explain our sins, I find it hard to believe that a man who takes two oranges because his family is hungry will be asked to explain his theft. Bottom line everything is relative, nothing is certain and nothing is always wrong or right. It is wrong to kill but not if You are "right." It is exactly the kind of sophomoric comments You are reciting that makes people believe they are not enough because they were born sinners. Give me a BREAK. Big words do not constitute wisdom.
