“And that understanding, that experience, brings you one step closer to understanding humanity.” How amazing, how intriguingly odd and how beautifully comic is the fact that we, while being human beings, are ourselves always in the process of learning what it means to be human.

Kierkegaard, Picard, how I love you.
