Some of you may have noticed that, for the most part, I don’t write about “you” or the very general “one” in my texts. Every now and then, I share a personal story of my own to be more personal and precise. Most of the time, however, I write observations about “us”—as people, as a society, as a culture.
This can trigger resistance in some people when I write about things that might affect some people, but not that specific person. And it’s true. This “we” can never be precise enough to truly express who is included and who is not. Nevertheless, it is a very conscious decision on my part to write in this way.
