I’m only a few pages in so far but no disagreements yet. I’m sure I will at some point but don’t expect any big ones based on what I’ve read so far.

I would agree with you on a lot of things but there are some that I was really confused about. At times, I would worry if I was on the same page with you or if I had gone off your intended tracks. For example, we cant help starving children because we can't help ourselves?

Well, that's the name of a chapter.

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?

I believe spiritual freedom (a.k.a. self-discipline) manifests as bravery, confidence, grace, honesty, love, and inner peace.

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.

Hi, Chinemezu Okafor,

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
