Touche, Plato

Beautifully put Plato. May I commend you for your efforts at removing the effects of brainwashing that many a poor unfortunate such as Nura is subjected to. Her real hope is reason and logic - if not in what she believes at least in what the impact on her life and others' lives the beliefs she holds has.

I believe that any living organism can sense what is good for its self-preservation/self-perpetuation in the long run and humans (despite their evolving mentalities) are not any different. I also hope my belief will bear out in the future.

Please keep up the good work
