"Subscribe to that point of view…"

I was conversing with a lady, via the Internet, with whom I have a great deal of respect for, more than she could ever know, she is like an aunt to me, although I have never told her. She possesses uncanny instincts, and is correct on many of her assumptions. Again more than she would know.

She has risen to a fairly prominent position, with much responsibility, but comes from humble beginnings. Unlike many people, she knows her background, intelligence, and limitations. She also knows that there is only so much that she can do.

She told me recently that she was raised in a certain religion, and it really does not matter which religion, but as she has grown older, she has focused in a different direction. Not so much abandoning her religion or faith, but looking and focusing on nature. Nature just takes its course, humans are animals, and must adopt to nature.

Nature can be a wonderful thing, with beautiful mountains, scenery, and life. It can also be and do terrible things, for example, natural catastrophes, causing major death and havoc anywhere in the world. Over the course of human existence, the stronger may be able to survive. Conversely the weak are eliminated.

Brothers and sisters will come from the same cloth. Quite simply, one may be genetically inferior, and thus be unable to survive because they do not possess the strength to go forward.

I know of a person who is afflicted with a sickness that is extremely rare. In order to contract this sickness, there must be a gene from both the father and mother, and their genes must interact in a certain way to produce this sickness in the child. The parents could have multiple children, and all do not necessarily become sick, but one may be genetically "inferior."

This inferiority, may make him susceptible to other sicknesses, and the cycle goes on. He faces an inevitable altered lifestyle. It is not his fault, but he tries to deal with it. People try to comfort him, but there is a limited amount of things that can be done.

Though I am a man of faith, I am also looking at other factors in my life. I think in the least, that lady makes me think about my life, I will never forget her, and I thank her from the bottom of my heart. I hope she knows that I read her correspondence very carefully, and appreciate her wisdom. I hope I have garnered her respect, on the rare occasion we communicate.

I think I do. "Subscribe to that point of view…" But I am always tweaking my thoughts and theories.
