Born in Miami, cared for by kind relatives, taken away from their kindly care due to a marriage of my mother, and live for the next 9 years in Africa/overseas, in an artificial surreal (and hostile) environment of isolation in my family, and among a limited number of other families (American and European) with little interaction with the native people. Having lived in an unnatural conditions since childhood has maybe resulted in one good thing: in acquiring somewhat of a deeper understanding of what we are all fighting than I would have had, otherwise, more empathy for suffering of the downtrodden, identifiying with them on a super-emotional and unconscious level; a knowlege of certain schockingly ugly truths which should not ever be required of anyone to need to learn. But without being immersed in such a hell with no escape, these long, painful slow truths wouldn\'t have been learned. Therefore my hope now is to relay to as many others what I have learned so expensively so they may benefit from these unpleasant, perhaps necessary realities, hopefully people can avoid unnecessary suffering this way.
