Paul,

Thank you, for your words of support. Hoping you have been safe amidst the turmoil. I appreciate your comments.

Others come here again specially to say hi to somebody they think a lot of and still continue to think of now and then.

Many types of social-norms can tend to keep us captive through being held ransom by our fear of being found as different for others around us. Specially when people are judged by the sort of cloth they wear.

And its very important we remain honest like that little girl in this story was, sometimes even if this means we will need to become alienated. Because honesty is just so very important and what matters most of all. And if we are dishonest just to try and please the status quo and thus way save our own skin, the cost of this is then multiplied as nothing is learned and many more others will need to continue to suffer for our dishonesty also, maybe even long after we pass on from this world ourselves.

You do such a great job with your wonderful writing John.

Be well and stay strong.Very best wishes! from me.
