Late Night Writing

I started writing a letter to someone and I think I got a little off track. Anyway I think I got down to a bit of what I was trying to say with this:

I think a lot of it comes from seeing what happened when I look at my own culture and heritage. I see that is was only around 70 years ago that some people got this idea that they were going to destroy everyone and everything that was not like them. They were only going to have one way of thinking until everything was homogenized and the same. Anything that was otherwise was corrupted and impure.

For this I desire to contaminate myself with as many things that can be considered foreign and new as possible. I want to be able to look at someone like you and not just think we are equals but I want to feel this passionately. And if it comes down to making a choice, I want to choose humanity above any allegiance to race, creed or country.
