We think thinking is the living end.
That all it takes is explaining things
in ways they can be understood.
With enough of the right kind
of information
we all come together in complete agreement,
seeing the same things
in the same way,
achieving peace and harmony at last.

Reason,
logic,
analytics,
calculus,
methodology,
and The Grand Final Theory
are all we need
for everyone to be in tune,
in step
and on the way.

Let me explain.

We see things differently.
We think different things 
are important.
We like different things.
We are on different wavelengths
with different points of view
and different values,
and different tastes,
and different interests,
and are at odds with ourselves even
over what matters most
and what that means for us
at any point in our life
and we are never going to be in agreement--
within or without--
about much of anything at all.

So, forget agreement,
and dedicate yourself to the work
of "just getting along,"
as best we can.
