Don’t judge a book by it’s cover. Hell, don’t judge people based on superficial extrapolations either.

We’re living in a weird time where multiple social issues are colliding. We’re all trying to figure out how to be human beings again, while the crux of our social division is precisely that separation.

Demographics divide us more than ever, sometimes in ways they hadn’t before, and assumptions are ripe.

I know we’re all doing our best to emerge from the longest winter ever, but I think it’s important that we depersonalize all of this a bit.

I’m doing me, I have to do this, I, I, I, I…

And that’s fair. We all do. I don’t know how much of a slogan it is though.

This timing requires we buffer all this reactionary thought.

Every action has a reaction, but I worry that all of our personal quests, the most important story in America, are really the product of of this lack of connection, dating back to before the pandemic.

Do you, by all means.

But how does redefining the subject change the vibe?

How does other people being the focus change how we feel and the way we communicate?
