Today's kids have a mind of their own, and they know how to exercise it. Even if I wanted to tell Sara or my son Ibrahim how to lead their lives - which I don't - they would not listen to me.

Everyone at school knew who my dad was. It made me a little self-conscious a little introverted because I had a lot of attention drawn towards me, but in a way I guess it gives you a little bit of a celebrity skin, even though I wasn't a celebrity.
James McCartney

Albert Camus

The decisive factor governing where in the hierarchy an individual ends up is his or her attentionality: their access to and capacity to absorb, sort, overview, generate the necessary attention for, and share valuable information.

But we cannot.

Right before I decided to come out, I went on a spiritual retreat called 'Changing the Inner Dialogue of Your Subconscious Mind.'
