Kal, I feel honoured by your comment, particularly by the implication of your old man's approval. My respect to him with Salaams.
I think we are all inconsistent at times, however. It is our inconsistencies which force us to question and learn new things. The lie is in pretending that we are consistent in the face of evidence to the contrary.
There is no magic to it - the lie simply doesn't feel comfortable in my heart and mind, but exploring is bags of fun.
