Actually the most radical thing to do is to love somebody.
How am I going to find the poem in each moment today?
Jargon excludes rather than includes.
There's a larger system that you must learn to address rather than just people and that, I think, is a level of maturity that is very important to reach in learning how to live in the world.

If you still keep thinking in terms like black or white i won't listen to you. There is no black or white in my world and i live very good with that but you keep on separating people. I liked your podcast until you counted out that little important thing. Grow up and rethink what you said!
