Take a moment and imagine you are one with accumulating, flowing anf undulating essence. One with and within collective consciousness and mutual conscientiousness, observing our species. Would your observation be sympathetic, toward us in general? Would you be concerned by our relentless, self-serving and care less indulgence. No matter what side any are on, born or coerced into, our travesty is fuled and accelerated, by us. Yet we describe and admire ourselves with cute little sayings like "I think therefore I am". It is more like I think therefore I scam. We scam for christ's sake. For muhammad's sake, god's, allah's, jehovah's, gandhi's, budda's martin luther king's or joseph smith's sake. For tradition, wealth, greed, for our own sake, and generally inequities sake. While necessity to commune and accomodate, in, and of, mutual hospitality, is functionally ignored. Such essentialness forgotten. In spite of claim as to true orientation, character, spirit, soul or inner self.

If your question is correct and I have heard you right. What I am hearing you say... is that we might have advanced to the place were we could at least sit down across from each other and dialog.
