Dear Murtaza:

I think that you are very intelligent (evaluating your intelligence from the position of my intelligence, of  course). Based on my interactions with you here, and witnessing your interactions with other members, I admire you for not being a people-pleaser, for not submitting/ bending over so to accommodate others’ feelings and motivations, for not faking being nice… for being as honest as you are, for standing for what you believe (and for what you don’t believe), for asserting yourself.. for being a fighter (in the context of interacting with members), for not presenting yourself to members as less-than.

When I mentioned your mix of logic and illogic, sanity or insanity- this is a mix that probably all people exhibit, but I delight in my free will to not engage in such when I don’t feel like it, or when I had enough (especially when you did not ASK for help in regard to your cognition!) But this does not mean that I don’t want to talk with you- it just means that I am not going to respond to a lot of you saying something and then un-saying, or twisting a thought this way and that way, so to deliver this or that message. But I do acknowledge your cognitive creativity (impressive! Especially considering you live in a conservative, Islamic society).

I was thinking earlier what I would like to talk to you about and I had a few ideas. (Nothing that is directed to change you and the way you live your life). I hope you are okay at this time, 1:31 am your time. I wonder how you spend your day and what you do (that which would be appropriate to share) when you are awake every night, seems like, way into the early hours of the morning.
