"they" started "taking it from us" when we "allowed" them to reinterpret our spiritual beliefs away from what we believed in over 2500 years ago. once they "convinced" us that mastery of our beliefs were no longer ours, it didn't take much to convince us that mastery of our families were no longer ours; that mastery of our land was no longer ours; that mastery of our lives were no longer ours; that mastery of our identity was no longer ours.
Self-Identity: "who are you?" and there ain't but one of you all over this planet. after all; we all sharing the same sorts of "discomforts" ain't we? suggests that there is one heck of a similarity amongst us:
