As all human beings are in my view creatures of God's design we must respect all other human beings. That does not mean I have to agree with their choices or agree with their opinions but indeed I respect them as human beings.
A lot of people in our industry haven't had very diverse experiences. So they don't have enough dots to connect and they end up with very linear solutions without a broad perspective on the problem. The broader one's understanding of the human experience the better design we will have.
Design is directed toward human beings. To design is to solve human problems by identifying them and executing the best solution.
What is design? It's where you stand with a foot in two worlds - the world of technology and the world of people and human purposes - and you try to bring the two together.
Sometimes I can't figure designers out. It's as if they flunked human anatomy.
If the human condition were the periodic table maybe love would be hydrogen at No. 1. Death would be helium at No. 2. Power I reckon would be where oxygen is.
If Christ can die in a barn I think the death of a human in a van is not so bad.
Though I am a Catholic a professing one I have serious doubts about the survival of the human personality after death.
The motif of death plays an important role the human psyche in connection with archetypal and karmic material.

'Hamlet' is one of the most dangerous things ever set down on paper. All the big unknowable questions like what it is to be a human being the difference between sanity and insanity the meaning of life and death what's real and not real. All these subjects can literally drive you mad.
Movies like that aren't about the visual effects and explosions. They're human stories about family about life about death.
I can choose to accelerate my disease to an alcoholic death or incurable insanity or I can choose to live within my thoroughly human condition.
When I did 'Bumble-ardy ' I was so intensely aware of death. Eugene my friend and partner was dying here in the house when I did 'Bumble-ardy'. I did 'Bumble-ardy' to save myself. I did not want to die with him. I wanted to live as any human being does.
I believe that his death and resurrection transformed humanity's relationship with God.
People think celebrities don't have to worry about human things like sickness and death and rent. It's like you've traveled to this Land of Celebrity this other country.

Only a humanity to whom death has become as indifferent as its members that has itself died can inflict it administratively on innumerable people.
Death is really a great blessing for humanity without it there could be no real progress. People who lived for ever would not only hamper and discourage the young but they would themselves lack sufficient stimulus to be creative.
And I know I'm supposed to feel guilty for wanting people to buy my books... and books in general? Novels and poetry they belong to the realm of art. How dirty of us to try to hawk art! But after a decade of hand-wringing and apologies I can't quite muster the guilt anymore.
