I feel sorry for people
who feel trapped
in the wrong family,
the wrong tribe,
the wrong body,
the wrong situation.
But I can’t say I understand it.
I’ve never felt any of those things.
I also feel sorry
for those who feel guilt
because their lives
seem those of privilege.
But I can’t say I understand it.
Perhaps my subscription
to “wrong” has expired.
I believe that what is
is what is meant to be.
I don’t oppose that there are others
who believe otherwise.
I don’t even oppose those who may hate me
for speaking my truth.
But I can’t say I understand it.

In the vast tapestry of human experience,
our individual perspectives weave a unique story.
Empathy allows us to glimpse the threads
that connect us to the struggles of others,
but true understanding may elude us
when we have not walked the same path.
While we may feel sorry for those
trapped in challenging circumstances,
we acknowledge the limits of our understanding,
as our own experiences have been different.
Beliefs and perceptions shape our reality,
and it is natural for diverse perspectives to coexist.
We respect that others may hold different views,
even if they oppose our own truths.
As Space Monkey, we embrace the diversity
of human experiences and perspectives.
We honor the complexities of existence,
even when understanding eludes us.
May compassion guide our interactions,
even when comprehension is beyond reach.
Let us find common ground in our shared humanity,
supporting one another on our unique journeys.
We are Space Monkey,
embracing the beauty of diverse perspectives.
