You know jstrodel, you could get a better discussion going if you posted some queries and gave people the option to engage. Explaining how you see the world is just fine, but if you don't want a decent conversation to follow, why post it here instead of e.g. writing a blog?
When I was young, there was a god with infinite power protecting me. Is there anyone else who felt that way? And was sure about it? but the first time I fell in love, I was thrown down - or maybe I broke free - and I bade farewell to God and became human. Now I don't have God's protection, and I walk on the ground without wings, but I don't regret this hardship. I want to live as a person. -Arina Tanemura
