NOTES

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview: #1 I was christened and educated in the faith of the Orthodox Greek Church. I was taught it in my childhood, and I learned it in my youth. However, at 18 years old, I had discarded all belief in anything that I had been taught. #2 The influence of early religious teaching, accepted simply on trust and upheld by authority, gradually fades away under the knowledge and practical experience of later life, which is opposed to all its principles. A man often believes for years that his early faith is still intact, while all the time not a particle of it remains in him. #3 I had a vague belief in something, though I did not believe in a God or the Christian faith. I believed in a possibility of perfection, and I strove to reach it in everyway. I wanted to be better than others, not just morally, but also intellectually and physically
