Was reading this book and came across this passage last night (btw, good series of books, very interesting ideas and whatnot), and thought that this might be a good discussion quote. Within our daily lives we run across this sorta division of people we run across. I am thinking that this perhaps is a cause to alot of racial, religious and sexest barriers...I don't know for certain. To most men women would fall under the Raman group of strangeness. I dunno if the reverse is true not being female myself. Also in the cases of race or religion alot of people would seem to fall under the framling group of strangeness...not to mention that everyday we run across people that we accept as being,"human"(or the same as us), but still a stranger which would be the Utlanning group. I don't know exactly where I am going with this, but I am going to fumble through it.
Anyhow, it seems to me that almost everyone we meet in this day and age would at least fall under the utlanning group, except for certain friends and family we hold close and can understand completely. With such a division of people starting like this, it isn't much of a surprise how many fights and arguements break out between people. Because we don't fully accept them as part of ourselves or even in alot of cases fully human. Most people seeming to be odd or strange to our way of thinking. Anyhow, any thoughts?
