I feel so fortunate to be finding books that address this uneasy feeling I have long had about the restrictions placed on me by religion and society. It has been an imaginary place that I have willingly chosen to live in much of my life, but I have had a vague sense that things are not quite right. Things seemed at least distorted, if not outright misleading. I have followed the rules of religion and society and neither has been a reflection of reality or particularly beneficial to someone like me who easily bent to their influence.
I’m old, and at last I am having improved vision. My cataracts are gone, and my understanding of reality is sharper. Both are unconnected benefits of my old age.
