A Splinter of Yourself
“The famous quote from Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet: “A rose by any other name would smell just as sweet”, risks losing its message of universal truth in these times of exacting identification and minute categorization. Whether defined in terms of species, gender, age, ethnicity, colour, profession, location, personality, values, orientation or a combination thereof, you become data-rich but soulfully-poor in the eyes of another. Like ordering a double-shot, soy milk, middle-roast coffee, are we compartmentalizing people to the point where they are sliced up pieces of a pie? No longer able to see their wholeness, do we see splinters instead? Surely you want to see and be seen as more than a splinter of yourself.”
