I do it because I think it is important
to express my opinions and feelings about life. I like to think that I am not a
hypocrite and the world would be a better place if more people were honest
about how they feel about important questions and issues. The human inclination
is to be guarded about what they really think. Therefore, it is difficult to
have meaningful discussions. Everyone is afraid of the criticism that might
result from a disclosure of how they think. For example, I am not a “believer”
of the Christian religion. But I have the highest regard for those who are believers.
My wife is one of the most passionate and faithful believers that I know. And I
love her dearly.
The fellow members of her church
recently did a very big act of kindness for her out of respect for the work she
does for the church. I am in awe of that generosity. I consider them to be good
people and good friends. The Christian tradition of religion has done many fine
things for humanity and I am grateful. I wish that all religions could be so altruistic.
Unfortunately, many awful things are done in the name of religion and I am
sorry to see that. To me, God is inscrutable and hard to understand. There are
many mysteries in life!
