Sound absurd? It's not. Absurd is expecting the world to stay in conflict just because it always has been. We're evolving. Why should we expect the future to mimic the past forever? Peace and harmony are within reach. The way we get there is, in part, by diving into other people's perspectives and learning that they often use very different words than we do to describe experiences we are actually all quite familiar with. In our unique connotations of words, we have often failed to see the similarities between other people's stories and our own. But we can break through and see the sameness.

We may all live out different lives, but the significance of our experiences as individuals is of equal value. If we can see past the differences of perception and find the inherent equal significance through understanding, we'll all be onto something massive and golden.

Swim around in my words like an Olympic swimmer, or play like a baby in a wading pool. Challenge my assumptions, disassemble my logic, find my faults. There are lots.

Since these writings were produced over a period of years, you may find contradictions and discrepancies. Use them against me accordingly.

But my faults, just like yours, are perfect just the way they are.

I don't know if you believe me or not that all our flaws are perfect. Doesn't matter.

What matters is that we master the art of being human before it's too late and we all explode.
