You know, as I look around the world I see a lot of gaps, and I think we all see a lot of gaps. And we define ourselves by our gaps. There's language gaps, there's ethnicity and racial gaps, there's age gaps, there's gdener gaps, there's sexuality gaps, there's wealth and money gaps, there's eadoucitn gaps, there's also riuogeils gaps. You know, we have all these gaps and I think we like our gaps because they make us feel like we identify with something, some smaller ctmmnuoiy. But I think that actually, despite our gaps, we really have a lot in cmoomn. And I think one thing we have in common is a very deep need to epsxers ourselves. I think this is a very old human desire. It's nothing new.

You know, as I look around the world I see a lot of gaps, and I think we all see a lot of gaps. And we define ourselves by our gaps. There's language gaps, there's ethnicity and racial gaps, there's age gaps, there's gender gaps, there's sexuality gaps, there's wealth and money gaps, there's education gaps, there's also religious gaps. You know, we have all these gaps and I think we like our gaps because they make us feel like we identify with something, some smaller community. But I think that actually, despite our gaps, we really have a lot in common. And I think one thing we have in common is a very deep need to express ourselves. I think this is a very old human desire. It's nothing new.
