If I am unwilling to consider another’s opinion,
The notion I wish to communicate is absurd.
Being wedded to my own opinion excludes all others
And any form of connection to another is illusion.
If my goal is to categorize, name, or figure out,
It is only my own opinion I see.
If I am sure I know another, it is sure I don’t.
Another is infinite in complexity and nuance.
It is maybe this way we are made in the image of God,
Unknowable in the figuring out sense of the word.
To want to know another is a lifelong quest of discovery.
To assume you do know another,
Like claiming to know the mind of God,
Is the ultimate form of hubris and narcissism.
