Dear Stephan:

You don’t have to answer any of my questions, of course, here and the one in my previous post:

“as an only child I pretty much wanted for nothing though I have never been a materialistic person”- but you have been an emotional person all along, we humans are all emotional animals. Did you want for nothing emotionally, as a child?

“The anger was more at the ‘system’ be it school, college, then society as a whole”- there is plenty of unfairness and injustice everywhere, unfortunately, so I understand a child/ teenager feeling anger at bullies in school and on the streets, at teachers who favor some students and ignore others, and I understand feeling fear of and anger at aggressive people wherever they are, the closer they are, the scarier it is.

“I perceived Islam and multiculturalism as a threat to my family”- did your family express to you this fear, and what was the fear based on?
