Who knows, maybe they do.<br /><br />I continue to hope, as a human race, we can learn to appreciate our differences and view them as strengths in our fellow man, instead of weaknesses.<br /><br />Our past is sad, but so is the present, and will be the future, until all men and women learn not to judge others solely by appearances alone, or by what others believe when it differs from our beliefs.Jack LaBloomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09686754263756099178noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4214358078220293316.post-27004975316963226142011-09-24T09:25:59.676-05:002011-09-24T09:25:59.676-05:00@Siobhan Muir, thanks.

It is painful, especially knowing our past.<br /><br />@Sonia Lal, if inanimate objects could talk, imagine what we might learn.<br /><br />@John Wiswell, I agree that we can never know everyone's heart.

Perhaps that's what the singularity's great boon would be, to rob individuality in favor of uniform knowledge. Until then, though, there'll always be "others".
