I approach things differently. I would never be satisfied focusing
on just one man's interpretation of things, no matter how brilliant,
insightful or gifted. I think the parable of the blind men trying to
describe an elephant is particularly apt in this regard. Any one
person's experience and insight is always only a small part of the
total of what it means to be human.
