Don't tell me to believe. don't tell me to believe in the same god or laws that men believe in who commit these murders. don't tell me to believe that god can bless this country and that men are judged by their peers. who among his peers judged him? was i there? was the minister there? was harry williams there? was farrell jarreau? was my aunt? was vivian? no, his peers did not judge him, and i will not believe.

A reader is entitled to believe what he or she believes is consonant with the facts of the book. it is not unusual that readers take away something that is spiritually at variance from what i myself experienced. that's not to say readers make up the book they want. we all have to agree on the facts. but readers bring their histories and all sets of longings. a book will pluck the strings of those longings differently among different readers.

The number one need in all people is the need for acceptance, the need to experience a sense of belonging to something and someone. the need for acceptance is more powerful in your family than anywhere else.... if that need is not met by your family, trust me, your kids will go elsewhere to seek it in order to find approval and acceptance.

Instead of seeking new landscapes, develop new eyes.
Wise Wisdom Eye
The difference between a man who is led by opinion or emotion and one who is led by reason. the former, whether he will or not, performs things of which he is entirely ignorant; the latter is subordinate to no one, and only does those things which he knows to be of primary importance in his life, and which on that account he desires the most; and therefore i call the former a slave, but the latter free.
