makeup, hairdo and other things that characterize the PRT side of human nature they are acknowledging its existence within them. The more they let it have a say in determining their life attitudes and the more they encourage it in others the sooner the ASDs will be reduced to a secondary position where they belong. When this occurs in our society men like Jack, Bobbie and Martin will be not only allowed but encouraged to express their ideas and to work for that which all of us in our hearts long for, namely the unity of the human race. I struggled over that word "unity" because habit first led me to think of "brotherhood" which is obviously inappropriate because it is a man-oriented and prejudiced word. "Sisterhood" on the other hand sounds too much like trying to make everyone a woman or of being self-serving of TV interests. But "unity" in the sense that a family is united as a group tied together by love, compassion and understanding is a much finer word.

So to wind this up, let me encourage each of those who read this to accept the PRT side of himself. Not with the superior pride nor with complete disdain for the ASD side, since both are necessary to a well balanced human life, but with a quiet assurance that this is the way things should be. Someday the world will (I hope) honor and exhalt the PRT in people over the ASD. In that day we will no longer have so many ASD-driven persons who seek to settle differences of opinion with fists, bullets, napalm or nuclear warheads. In my personal opinion the purpose of life is living and there is practically nothing worth dying for (except possibly to save your child or wife from their death). In turn living is not just existing and breathing; it is basically composed of mutual tenderness, compassion, understanding, and help for others. Today this is PRT-land, tomorrow let us hope it is the world. You have all made the first steps in recognition of this, see that you spread that philosophy as widely as you can. Then your life will have had some meaning.
