11. It's a real pity that the "others" can't appreciate this. They are locked into hate.

And fear, and inner self-doubt. But they can't allow themselves to be open to questioning or accepting of others.

12. I have hope.

This is the sort of message that appeals to everyone, even the haters. But they will continue to hate, until the fuel is extinguished.

Let’s do this thing. Let’s not become “them.”
