So good to hear

Saying prayers for you, wil. Come back soon smarter than before.

yes I understand. I always know when something is right. This, even though as a younger person I have not always followed this "inherent spiritual quality". This 'knowingness' of the right is goodness.

whatever its categorization, I still don't see that goodness needs a reason to be. Or have I misunderstood your meaning?
