Our relation with the Other rests on a thin line between intrigue and fear.Once we come to acknowledge the many similarities we have with the Other,we can more readily strip ourselves of fear.Once we mature to value the Other for its uniqueness,we may even form an intrigue for it. But let intrigue not fool you nor meeither with taboos, or prejudice.Whereas when we become spectators,we must prove compassion.On becoming participants,we shall choose genuiness.

So hush my dear,This here is not a zoo,and nobody has appointed you the zookeeper.
