Circles of Humanity (from Steve's journal)



If I have someone I don't like- an enemy-it always grates on me to find a place where our humanity overlaps.  I'm surprised when I bump into them in a restaurant I like, or at the Farmer's Market, or at a concert.  These are MY places, My likes, My ideas.  "What are you doing here?"

That is the rub.  I share a common humanity with my enemies, and often common tastes and even religion.

I'd rather pull our circles completely apart.
