In thinking about what the newest version my website would be, I thought about all the previous interactions with people and their ideas. Someone once said to me, Everyone has their own opinion and it seems like no one ever changes despite all this pointless arguing. Conversation, is much more important than mere conversion. I would hope that, in fact, conversion, when it does happen, happens on a deeper level than conversation can offer. Issues, be they political, religious, philosophical, even whimsical, are part and parcel to who we are, how we define our world, and how we define ourselves.
Conversation is an opportunity to know eachother better.
Real relationships aren't built on hanging out together but on a sincere interest in and commitment to other people. Maybe I haven't said it enough, but my friendships are not solely based on entertainment value. I actually care about my friends. My friends are all genuine, worthy people who I respect for their diverse gifts. And that's why I made this website.
