Most of my life I’d been making it up, as I think many people do - you just make up your moral values. I’ve searched for meaning in politics. Latterly I’ve found international socialism short-changing: you talk about solidarity, and what you really mean is solidarity with people of the same political persuasion.

Over the years I began to become rather intrigued by the Bahá'ís, and yet not really recognising that they actually offered a solution. You can sometimes see solutions right in front of your eyes, but you simply don’t take them, for whatever reason!
