from our parents, friends,

we are more likely to believe without questioning
than to raise our filter of skepticism
and ask the hard questions.

but never even in their dreams thinking of dominating,
thinking of enslaving the other person.

as well from as having the perspective of imagination -

inhabited by futurists and science-fiction writers.

You're so shallow.
