I can walk away now and not explain my beliefs, but when I was struggling to find my place in society, I couldn't! I wanted to contribute something... but somewhere back in my developmental process, I veered off the path, from where ALL the other people around me, were! If I spoke my true beliefs, I was demeaned, ostracized and even shamed! It has been, that only after I claimed my own 'nature'...good, bad and indifferent...that now, I can say, if your religion is good enought for you, then is fine with me! That took a lot of suffering on my part! As, I just wanted a place at the 'table!' But I found out...that I REFUSED to pay the price! So, here I am, with NO TABLE, and holding 'life' in my hands! So, I won...
