Thought

I often marvel at the sheer variety of human faces and body parts. It seems to me that there would be an even greater variety of human minds. One can scarcely perceive another person's mind fully and must project a significant portion of their own to fill the inevitable holes and gaps in understanding that arise. It is an easy mistake to assume that all humans are, more-or-less, "alike-under-the-surface." At least, it was an easy mistake for me. We share languages and thoughts, but are vastly different from one another. That being said, compared to, say a fly, humans are very similar. But common sense, justice, equality, fairness; these concepts vary from person to person. It took me a long time to learn that. -B
