We say we embrace humanity, but what does that mean? We are all defined by our limits, so to what extent can we embrace all this?

That's the war within.

Simone de Beauvoir
-
The story of humanity is not a story of a few people who had huge, gigantic effects on the world. That's only the story we hear, because it's the easy story to tell. Caring for ourselves and other people is the only thing that has ever mattered to the future of our species.
