As an atheist, humanity is all I have and when humanity disappoints me, I despair. I try not to allow humanity to disappoint me because I understand that we are a sum of rational and irrational thoughts, feelings, actions and intricate dichotomies that even the most self-aware human being is unable to process and explain [...]
Hey everyone. With Toronto Buskerfest rapidly approaching, I know I should be taking the opportunity to post about that. And I promise I will, in due time.
