"When you say someone is a bad person, you are buying into a worldview of good people and bad people. Within this paradigm, if you were to do the things the bad person does, it would make you bad. Essentially, you are saying that the seed of badness lives in you." Wow! What an elegant, simple way of bringing this together. I feel as if something just clicked for me. Thank you.
This is simply beautiful… it has taken me years of work, prayer, and 12 step meetings to come to believe what you’re saying here, Flora… I’ve never been able to so eloquently put these ideas, thoughts, and feelings into words..so thank you, thank you.

Thank you for the well-thought out and beautifully written piece on this contentious topic, you’ve put words to an inner struggle I feel as well.
