There is a beautiful give-and-take between the experience of variety (either consuming or producing) and the grasping of essence. They do not exist independently of each other, nor is one better inherently better than the other. They must be kept in balance, and yet the world seems to favor variety over understanding at every turn.

Consider yourself lucky to be in the minority of those who appreciate what is truly rare and precious about humans, who are in turn a rare and precious part of life, which is in turn a rare and precious part of the universe.
