“Actually, my sign didn’t make sense without Roberta’s…” this line was so pivotal for me. A reminder of the needed duality for ‘sides’ to exist, for extremes to emerge, for hate from either side to ensue. I can’t say I know how to fix it other than to find the center of both or more viewpoints and see the humanity in both, but this book definitely has me thinking in new ways I’m sure I will revisit. Especially since I listened to it twice in one sitting. Highly recommend! ✨
