An old friend asked me one time if I was a free-thinker. Being the Enida that I am, I answered his question with a question. Asked him to give his own definition of free-thinker. His idea of a free-thinker by the way was…a person who is free from believing in any Super Power, who has his/her own measure of right and wrong, does not have to conform to real-time societies, yada yada yada.
But I said YES anyway, except that I had my own definition of what a free-thinker should be. “Because I am a free-thinker, I am free to think that the Super Power does exist, no matter what name anybody else calls Him by; that being kind to others is about the only religion that binds me from doing the wrong things; and as much as I would like to belong to the real-time societies…I am free to think that I am raceless.”
My friend then called me an apostate.
Oh don’t worry, feel free to have your Merdeka Day your way.
Questa è Enida
