I am often saddened by how limited people can be. Our primitive need to categorize everything and stick to safe, narrow-minded and closed paths prevents us from not only being able to see deeper, more profound understandings about ourselves and each other, but more importantly, the responsibilities we all have toward human possibility - the bigger vision of what we must do for the future, for the next generation, and not simply for “right now”. Lack of courage, imagination, and vision is one of the biggest and most frequent problems we face in all of our lives - from musicians to politicians, from the average working guy to the student still in school. People spend so much time looking at others, competing against others, hiding behind so many things… perhaps we should be spending more time looking and searching within ourselves.

I hope those in the US who are voting today will use their right to speak up for what they believe in. Spain has its election on Sunday - after the debate last night, I hope people here will turn out to support the clear choice.
