prophesize with your pen

Differences or similarities? Interestingly the things that we believe that keep us as humans together are usually keep us apart, things we believe keep us as humans part are usually keeping us together. Man built the Tower of Babel as an epitaph to our great achievements. God looked down and was unhappy and gave man a multitude of tongues so we couldn't communicate. The tower waned in the swirling winds and crumbled into dust.

Believe in the story or not, there are some truths in this, differences in language, culture, colour, creed, faith. All bring sadness and separation for what should be the human race. But to me, having had the chance to pick and choose, look at all the similarities and differences, I've come to embrace my differences within each space and display them like a peacock fanning its tail feathers for the show.

What started off as a disagreement as part of a conversation has turned into agreeing something over a cup of bad starbucks cappuccino. The only people that can keep a language alive is the people that care most about it, the people that speak it.

We stayed up till 4 in the morning, we listened to as many records I thought she would like. She asked me if we could hear the Bright Eyes song again. I obliged and I asked her if she preferred apples or pears.

She replied to me 'apples of course'.

I only wished that my past work place in Germany doesn't have that many people so uninterested in football.
