I am a big believer in the inclusive idea that is "yes and". Your truth is beautiful and obviously deeply meant. I myself, see the "birthplace" of ideas as the place where freedom is always won. We all turn to our own past experiences to inform our futures, but that birthplace is just our beginning. In the end, it takes participation from all sorts of people with a spectrum of contributions to pull off real change. Great minds should be heard and supported by others who are willing to fight for a better tomorrow from every possible position. Beware of engaging in intellectual purity at the expense of a broader, more inclusive approach to achieving something we can all believe in.
