I'm a liability to them - i'm a woman, i'm empowered, i'm an artist. i've had executives who can't come to my shows they're so scared of me. i've been a thorn in many people's sides just by existing.

More From Alanis Morissette

At this moment in history, millions of 'working dads' are desiring to do what they do not feel they have the right to do: be more devoted as a dad, less devoted as a worker. this feeling is far more ubiquitous among men executives than women executives in many areas of the world because, for instance, asia-pacific women executives today are more than six times as likely to not have children than men executives are. the asia-pacific executive man is about six times as likely to be a working dad as an executive woman is to be a working mom.

I'm a person of my own opinions, that's how i was raised. i speak what i feel... a lot of people feel the same way but they're scared to talk. they're really scared of the truth - they only want half of the truth. i've been living like that - forever in fear - but i know what to say and how to say it now. i ain't scared of myself. y'all may be scared; i'm not scared.

There's a story... a legend, about a bird that sings just once in its life. from the moment it leaves its nest, it searches for a thorn tree... and never rests until it's found one. and then it sings... more sweetly than any other creature on the face of the earth. and singing, it impales itself on the longest, sharpest thorn. but, as it dies, it rises above its own agony, to outsing the lark and the nightingale. the thorn bird pays its life for just one song, but the whole world stills to listen, and god in his heaven smiles.

I find so many people struggling, often working harder, simply because they cling to old ideas. they want things to be the way they were; they resist change. i know people who are losing their jobs or their houses, and they blame technology or the economy or their boss. sadly they fail to realize that they might be the problem. old ideas are their biggest liability. it is a liability simply because they fail to realize that while that idea or way of doing something was an asset yesterday, yesterday is gone.

From woman, man is born; within woman, man is conceived; to woman he is engaged and married. woman becomes his friend; through woman, the future generations come. when his woman dies, he seeks another woman; to woman he is bound. so why call her bad? from her, kings are born. from woman, woman is born; without woman, there would be no one at all.

To reconcile conflicting parties, we must have the ability to understand the suffering of both sides. if we take sides, it is impossible to do the work of reconciliation. and humans want to take sides. that is why the situation gets worse and worse. are there people who are still available to both sides? they need not do much. they need do only one thing: go to one side and tell all about the suffering endured by the other side, and go to the other side and tell all about the suffering endured by this side. this is our chance for peace. but how many of us are able to do that?
