I found your article interesting, and what I found even more interesting were the comments it elicited and the diverse manner in which your article was read. I don’t claim to have read it the correct way, the way you wrote it, either, but I did not get from your words that you “hate yourself” as others did. I got instead something far deeper than that, and not negative in essence, on the contrary. I believe that you will engage in meaningful work that will serve the collective, — which you may already do. Serving, loving one another, fostering each other’s growth, evolution and joy is all we can do regardless of what circumstance we were born into in this lifetime. And happy are we when we engage whole-heartedly in causes of justice, love and truth. Not easy, but fulfilling like nothing else.
