evidence: The man who wrote this was a renowned and prolific American science fiction and science author, in addition to being a biochemistry professor. I didn’t look any further into what context he said this in, but that single quote hit upon something I have been struggling with throughout this summer. It’s hard not to have preconceptions or assumptions about people and places; I’ve had to acknowledge and come to terms with some of my own on many of the activities we have had. The experience that immediately came to mind when I read this quote was our recent trip to the Central Area Food Bank distribution market, where we volunteered on a Saturday morning giving out produce to around 240 families.
