Thank you again Farokh for sharing your thoughts with your audience of friends and family. You are going deep in this post and taking us with you…let's keep asking these questions of ourselves and of each other…so much to fathom at this depth where there is only degrees of goodness.
Much love as per usual xxxxx

Well I agree with all comments above, how easy is that! No work on my part. Even though Lilac doesn't know you very well, I'd say she/he has hit the nail on the head about you. I am amazed you can collect your thoughts so well and write about them while you are going thru your ordeal. I am also honoured to be your friend. Kudos!

I was hoping that it was clear that I do not consider myself to be evil. I do not believe in the concept of good and evil. What is good for one may be quite evil for another. Which one is right?

I do not believe for a second that I am evil. I was hoping to make it clear that I do not actually believe in the concept of good and evil. What is considered good by one person may be quite evil to another. The lines between the two are getting thinner and murkier by the second.

well, that's a very nice piece! My favorite line is "what sort of relationship exists between God and the Devil?" It's pretty much the essential ethical question, regardless of one's spiritual/faith context. But it's fun to make them characters and think about it that way. Really enjoyed this one…we'll talk more about it later. But I'm so glad I was not indoctrinated into fundamentalist beliefs – what a terrible burden to bear. xoxoxDi

You are not evil! From the little I know of you, you are an extremely funny, intelligent and compassionate man/writer. I consider myself deeply honured to have gotten to know you. We all have a certan energy about us which touches people. I am sure that in your life and through this blog, you have touched a great many people–including me.
