My story

RE: My story
Quote:You don't need forgiveness for anything you did as a child but you do need to release yourself if you feel that you were in any way to blame. Faith has to be backed up by evidence or it isn't faith.
this is just it. I know beyond any shadow of a doubt now that I am not to blame, and the religion that I was a part of for several years made me feel like I was. It made me feel that the decisions I had made were poor and that I was a less worthy member of society for it. It didn't help that these christians were forever trying to pray for the restoration of my sight. I kept feeling like god was denying me that because of what I had done in my life. it was horrible.

Now however I know that I do not need these things. who I am is the way I was born. If you offered me sight tomorrow I'd refuse, because I appreciate my unique position in the world and I adapt to it. I am highly independent and have travelled all over Europe on my own.
Quote:Frankly, I wish that the fruits of my work useful and glorious appearing of the world that the fruits of my labor awaken the mind and unlock the feeling of those who are deprived of light.
Ridiculous to say, outside the sky was nothing.
There is not one world, one earth, one sun, but as many worlds as we see bright sparks on us.
