Since the product of two real negatives is positive, and the product of two real positives is positive, it follows that Humanity Squared can't be negative.
"A human being is a part of a whole, called by us 'universe', a part limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts and feelings as something separated from the rest... a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest to us. Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty."
- Albert Einstein
"Go on in doing with your pen what in other times was done with the sword; show that reformation is more practicable by operation on the mind than on the body of man. Peace and friendship with all mankind is our wisest policy."
Thomas Jefferson
This really isn't about me.
This is about wanting to seed the hearts and minds of readers with a passion for change.
Humanity Squared will be the product of researching the negatives and creating the positive.
I'm just a drop in the ocean of humanity, but through my fingers tapping away, I hope to be a tsunami of change.

i This morning while swimming, thoughts of this web site were running through my mind. I was communing with the light beams, thinking all was well with the world. Wondering how I was going to incorporate the lower case i I had seen in the sky while walking in the dark. My friends and I walk three times a week, meeting in the dark at the ungodly hour of 5:30am.
Now, that lower case i was displayed in the eastern morning sky. It was created by the moon's light shining upon some clouds from behind. The i was beautiful and dominated the darkness.
So, making a long story shorter.
I also swim with another set of friends on the same days that I walk. We do open ocean swimming and we have one stretch that goes out over the abyss. While swimming in the abyss I started wondering about the lower case i. Should I write about the all powerful eye that is displayed on so many things, should I write about the light that funnels into a kind of eye?
You know, those random thoughts that run through a persons mind.
Anyway, while I was concentrating on thinking about the i, a piece of jelly fish tentacle nailed me right above the heart on my breast.
It took my breath away.
It was so painful I had to stop swimming, but, it made me recognize where my thoughts were running.
We humans are all lower case i's, but we forget that in our quest for domination.
This blog isn't about me. It is about all of us lower case i's...and i will have to do battle daily to remember that.
PS... i have been using the lower case i ever since i wrote this piece when i started this blog.
