“You didn’t create yourself, so there is no way you can tell yourself what you were created for!

Rick Warren

How can they meet us face to face till we have faces?”

We subject all facts to a prefabricated set of interpretations. We enjoy the comfort of opinion without the discomfort of thought.
John F. Kennedy
