A book about people. How I see them.
The different and the similar ones.
Sadly, I can't tell you what that means.
It's different to every person,
no matter how similar we all are.
Hope you enjoy.

You know what you've been told, what you've seen, felt, experienced.

Well, yes, you do, but...
You see, no one can know everything. We agree, right? Maybe you say we do but do you show it? Should you show it?
There are many methods of communication and this text is one of them. We can express everything through words! ...well...no...
Words can convey only about...7% of the information. The rest is body language, intonation, pictures and so on.

Books let you be creative and see unique pictures because they are just words on a page/screen.

How would you react? My first reaction would be to think that he was wrong for innitiating violence. But what has she done?
Maybe you agree, maybe you don't, but try to remember a situation where you had a strong emotional reaction.
Did you let the emotion pass and think about it?
And...more importantly, when you have thought it all the way through, could you react then? You still have to consider the information you might be missing, right?
