Invite a monster to tea
We're missing some chats to do, some monsters to get around with. They might be very close to you, neighbors, old friends, siblings, fathers, children, who, despite all mental acrobatics, are monsters.
Yeah, monsters just like those other people you can safely call monsters and behave with them as such, because they are just some random person. Not mom, because mom cannot ever think like those extremists think, could she?
Those monsters don't read what you read, or watch what you watch. They have their own sources that constantly tell them that you are the monster. Are you?
Consider that, some day, some future generation could call us monsters because we didn't think as they will think. Or a simple plane trip could take you to a full nation of monsters who don't like you and me, not at all.
So, please, invite a monster to tea, listen quietly for a time, if only to gain some insight. There's enough people doing the condemning already and it doesn't seem to work.
