I agree. I think it's important to explore ourselves and attempt to discover what our true motivations are. In that, I think we take huge steps towards greater unity and a more peaceful coexistence with one another.

Perhaps we could have a conversation based on this principle ... But the way you've gone at people for disagreeing with you doesn't promise much hope, so far as i can tell.

I wouldn't mind being wrong about you on this score. I leave it to you one way or the other.
