The Questions of How and Why

[Beskar]

No problem. Your opening now is far better.

Just another point, you mention this:

Believing in a higher power and that there are things more important than ourselves is a good thing. Forgetting that leads to selfishness and base corruption.

I partly agree with this. However, if you reworded it to:

Believing in that there are things more important than ourselves is a good thing. Forgetting that leads to selfishness and base corruption.

I completely agree with this statement. Mainly because of the definitions of "Higher Power" and the fact, you don't actually need to believe in a "Higher Power" to realise there are many important things, and argubly, in many cases where people do believe in a higher power, they can cause and create great selfishness and base corruption intentionally, invoking that "Higher Power" 's name.

(Also as a note as it was mentioned above, Higher Power could imply: Satan, 'God', Cthulu, etc)
