This history of mankind is the process of which we gain freedom from our own prejudices.
How we freed ourselves from slavery is perhaps the greatest achievement of the US history in that sense. "We are born equal" is what the Constitution ever proclaimed as the eternal truth.
Breaking the barrier and nullify prejudices are the ultimate objectives of such principle. Then what is this claim: "this is YOU"?
We have fought a long war against prejudices against racisms, sexism, and other prejudices. What is prejudice? It is the assumption of others.
Your partying daughter talks of a 'fun' life. Your long time European ally claims discussion on outlook and affection is 'exciting'. Your backers from your political party claims 'meeting' with someone is the goals of your life. Those are assumptions and prejudices based upon their own life. What is exiting for them, certainly is not good for us the middle class. We do not fool around. That is not how we make money. That is how they make money.
How we make money, is simple. We do the work that they do not. Coding is my profession. We value our private time.
