When all of a sudden we can no longer hear the voices that once kept us alive and gave us a sense of human presence, we begin to notice the missing parts of us that once was. It is natural that we lead our lives through each other even though sometimes we wish our neighbours were not alive. What makes us different from other creatures of the world is our ability to reinvent ourselves into living with each other in spite of our differences, and the things that make us unique to each other. It is only in the collective that we can even begin to imagine that we are different. Therefore, if our uniqueness comes from the collective, united we can create a unique world in which prejudice against one is detrimental to all. If this be a dream, I wish to remain in slumber.

THE OTHER IN US
When all of a sudden we can no longer hear the voices that once kept us alive and gave us a sense of human presence, we begin to notice the missing parts of us that once was.
