This instance succeeds on one simple mantra: Be kind, and do unto others as you have done to yourself. Consider for a moment that we’re ALL on the the same rapidly-spinning, mostly-watery orb, hurtling through space at fantastic speeds, and trading metal and paper for our livelihoods. The unknown will always dwarf the known. Learning never ends. We may be experts in something, but no one person is an expert in all things.

Given that, here our are very simple
