Well, that's the name of a chapter.Sugar Rush wrote: ↑March 5th, 2023, 7:04 pm we cant help starving children because we can't help ourselves
Would you mind re-reading that chapter and then telling me (excluding the chapter title itself) what the first sentence in that chapter is with which you first disagree?
"The mind is a wonderful servant but a terrible master."
I believe spiritual freedom (a.k.a. self-discipline) manifests as bravery, confidence, grace, honesty, love, and inner peace.

Hi, Chinemezu Okafor,Chinemezu Okafor wrote: ↑March 17th, 2023, 2:36 pm The only sentence that I didn't agree with was on page 128 where you said, "There is no problem with evil because their is no evil" I kept wondering what you meant by that because I knew there was a lot of evil in this world. I have thought very well about it, and up till now, I still don't know what that sentence really means.
Thank you for your reply!

I am so glad to hear that you read well over half the book before finding even a single sentence with which you don't agree.
Regarding that particular sentence, I have explained in more detail what I mean by it and why I believe it to be true in the following forum topic:
What the word "evil" means to me, and why I believe evil (as I use the term) does not exist.
Please do give that topic read, and reply there to let me know your thoughts.

Thank you,
Scott
