I often reflect on the fact that we will never truly understand another’s perspective. Sure we can attain near total alignment, but no one is you, and you are no one else.

This makes openness and consideration paramount to our survival, to our success as a species. We are frail and weak compared to much of the animal world, and instead rely on our combined ingenuity to thrive.

So far removed from the primal world within today’s civilization, it’s easy for us to forget the real advantages that make us human, and our biology will never “catch up” to our technological innovation. It’s imperative we remember our togetherness, the true trait responsible for all we crave and enjoy.
