There’s been so much talk lately about cults, sects, polygamy, religions, and lifestyle differences in general. It’s clear to me that most people condemn others and their lifestyles without even trying to understand. We reject what is unfamiliar to us. It’s a natural thing to do.

I do, however, understand what leads people to certain lifestyles. I’m not condoning any lifestyle, and I think it’s very unfortunate when lifestyle choices lead to people getting hurt, especially innocent children.

Ultimately, we’re all looking for manuals to navigate the complex dynamics of living. There are so many life manuals available, and we choose the ones that are passed down to us or the ones that we identify with the most for whatever reason. Perhaps our choices stem from the set of life questions that we have.
