Overprotection stifles the very creative forces it's supposed to nurture.

Oscar Wilde
-
One of the unspoken themes that I'm grappling with in Day of Honey is the relationship between violence and cosmopolitanism. It's one thing to comprehend violence as an outgrowth of ignorance, poverty, and backwardness.
