I just love this, Maria. It’s a reflection of my feelings though I did not have the words to speak it. The perfect vibe for every season.

I am glad you clarified and updated the last paragraph.

If we approach education as lifelong learning, then we all become students in life. And we will evolve.

In the meantime, your article needs,somehow, to reach everyone.

I was right there with you until the final parenthetical statement. Maybe I’m interpreting it wrong?

“Unless it’s for food”? So the way I read this is if it’s for food it’s ok to use “chemicals (or weapons) to eradicate a living thing”? I can’t imagine that is what you intended to say, but my mind can’t comprehend that any other way.

Not sure how I get lost in the weeds?

Harvesting a plant or animal for food is what I meant. Sorry if it was confusing. We all have to eat!
