Thank you Seana. Yes, perspectives and lenses, and context, are very important and people should always strive to see things or at least to understand things not just from their own perspective. It makes total sense to me from what you said that you are of two minds about this. I wonder if you also have an ambivalent reaction to this most recent post of mine: https://medium.com/channspirations/on-fear-and-hope-ee60d1c5bb97

PS: have you written any essays on growing up under a dictatorship? If so, I'd like to read them.
