Those differences therefore ought to be tolerated rather than suppressed.

Steven Pinker, "the blank slate"

i don't want to explain what i'm getting at here and i quote more often than explain and preach for that very reason...this quote actually captures that...you will create your own meaning from your own experience...it might be more fun to see how you interpret and where you go with it than me telling you what i think and influencing the journey...no blueprint, no outline, no expectation of direction...leaves a lot more room for limitless discourse and fun philosophizing ;)
