What’s figurative speaking? Glad you asked…
How would you know that state of being, happiness, on all its imaginable levels, was pursue-able, or, farther out even, how would you know pursuing it was a right that was not take-away -able-by-making-you -a -citizen -of-nowhere, an Alien, lacking human rights, like the Jews used to be and the Palestinians are now, in their minds and camps? How would you know that if some one, a person, did not tell you?
Why would anyone ever forget to teach that right’s right use to their children? Shame on whoever it was.
