A few years before Michael passed he gave us a box that contained what he referred to as the “Founder's Files”, a printed collection of his musings on various topics of importance to him. We have included 2 excerpts from these files that relate to this issue's theme of pain and suffering. They are titled, “Why Do We Exist in Such a Dangerous World?” and “Evil”, respectively. We feel grateful to be able to share Michael's never-before published words with you. Click the buttons below for access.
