All Fall Down

Ok, first off, we the people who do not have the same beliefs as Sunny, are called blemished. I think because Sunny's mother had a huge Doubt hanging around and the majority of that had to do with the fact that she was already dying of cancer (which according to these believers was impossible if they take super care of their "vessels" - or bodies). I think she followed all the rules and took care of her self, mind/body/soul yet still ended up with something her belief said she can only get from abusing your vessel. I also think there was a huge Guilt there. Guilt that she snatched Sunny away from her real father and a chance a real life outside of pedophilia, abuse, torture, and young motherhood - Freedom.

I think anyone who has all the freedom they can ask for and a loving hot husband thinks they are invincible - because their men and busy-bee mother friends make them feel that way. No one can actually understand motherhood 100% until they have children of their own. It's a feeling you get from the minute you give birth to your own bundle of joy. It's definately harder to have motherly feelings for children when they seem different or strange to you (or their parents for that matter). Yes you want to be a mother, but to your own flesh and blood, not you hunky-hubby's model ex-wife's gorgeous daughter's cute and undeniably diciplined angels. However, that fact plays a huge part of why Liesel feels the way she feels. Also because of Sunny and her children's upbringing and out-of-this-world belief system. Liesel tries, yet she does not comprehend 100% what Sunny has been through, nor does she try to understand why Sunny does what she does. Yes Sunny tries to teach, but Liesel just does not see eye to eye because, I think, of her comfort zone and her own belief system. In the end, Liesel brought this all on herself by spoiling the children. That is a big no-no if you are not the parent, respect their wishes.

This is simple. We are simply uncomfortable because we simply do not understand nor do we want to. How many times have there been knocks on your door you avoid? Have you ever decided to open the door and try to understand or accept? Just because one wants to understand or accept another's belies or practices does not mean they are simply going to convert. As a community, we all should at least try to understand one another. This is also a two-way street. If you want your religion practiced or accepted, don't wall it up. No, this is not a popularity contest, but communities need to work together to at least try to give the younger generations the benefit of the doubt for picking and choosing their own beliefs. Yes, some groups have more validity than others, they're the ones who believe this is a popularity contest and want to win the war... Oops, did I type that out loud?

Ok, to understand Josiah you must understand his role in this story as well as within their Sanctuary: Josiah is the youngest of two sons born from John I: John Second and Josiah. Josiah chose to leave behind the Sanctuary because after his father passed, John Second's practices were too wrong-sided and forcible. Josiah did not wish the pain on Sunny that John Second gave her; he taught her she should love every activity she does and not just do it as an obligation. Josiah also kept an eye out for Sunny, took care of her when she couldn't stand up for herself. Josiah brought reason to those confused about John I and John Second's teachings. This is why Sunny calls for him for help. Because he understands her. The pain and lack of comfort she feels outside her Sanctuary walls. She looks to him because he is the voice of reason for her. Sunny is wise enough to know when to draw the line and not cross it with Josiah (in the end). She definately knows the difference between what's right and what comfortable and uses it (and Josiah) to her advantage to help her cope outside the Sanctuary walls.
