Men and women are not only themselves; they are also the region in which they were born, the city apartment or the farm in which they learnt to walk, the games they played as children, the tales they overheard, the food they ate, the schools they attended, the sports they followed, the poets they read and the God they believed in.”

is the sum of all those parts that make us who we are – different individuals with the common experience of being human and the unique experience of being ourselves
