The identity of just one thing, the "clash of civilization" view that you're a muslim or a hindu or a buddhist or a christian, i think that's such a limited way of seeing humanity, and schools have the opportunity to bring out the fact that we have hundreds of identities. we have our national identity. we have our cultural identity, linguistic identity, religious identity. yes, cultural identity, professional identity, all kinds of ways.

If the lost word is lost, if the spent word is spent if the unheard, unspoken word is unspoken, unheard; still is the spoken word, the word unheard, the word without a word, the word within the world and for the world; and the light shone in the darkness and against the word the unstilled world still whirled about the center of the silent word. oh my people, what have i done unto thee. where shall the word be found, where shall the word resound? not here, there is not enough silence

Safety lies in catering to the in-group. we are not all brave. all i would ask of writers who find it hard to question the universal validity of their personal opinions and affiliations is that they consider this: every group we belong to - by gender, sex, race, religion, age - is an in-group, surrounded by an immense out-group, living next door and all over the world, who will be alive as far into the future as humanity has a future. that out-group is called other people. it is for them that we write.

So long as we continued to attach more importance to our own narrow group membership than to the 'global village' we would propagate prejudice and ignorance. there was absolutely no harm in being part of a small group - indeed, with our hunter-gatherer band mentality it gave comfort, provided us with an inner circle of friends who could be utterly trusted, who were absolutely reliable. it helped give us peace of mind. the danger came only from drawing that sharp line, digging that ditch, laying that minefield, between our own group and any other group that thought differently.
Ignorance Circles Drawing
I was like, "this is a new thing that the gay people have decided? that's the gayest thing i've ever heard in my life." you can't do that. you can't decide that a word is forbidden now collectively amongst your group of human beings, that the word is a slanderous evil nasty word about homosexuals. it's not, the word doesn't mean that. and sometimes it's a good word to use in comedy. that's what your friend has to realize when he's at a bar just yelling out the word.

Each additional day together is a gift. the end of the day means the end of hostilities, the recognition that the underlying shared values and commitment to the relationship trump the need for one last dig or self-righteous justification.
