Another articulate post. I have many interests, but, mainly focus on my art and writing; it simplifies things. Here is a quote that defines the complexity of human nature, though;

“The longer I live, the more I am satisfied of two things: first, that the truest lives are those that are cut rose-diamond-fashion, with many facets answering to the many-planed aspects of the world about them; secondly, that society is always trying in some way or other to grind us down to a single flat surface. It is hard work to resist this grinding-down action.” ~ Oliver Wendell Holmes, “The Professor at the Breakfast-Table”, 1859.
