Dear Humans,

There are nearly 8 billion people in the world. And a lot of them are a lot like you or me. Just down the block there are similar schools with similar kids learning similar curriculum from similar teachers.

Which is all to say that none of us are all that special. 

But we might be the only son to someone. Or the only father. Or the only brother. Or someone’s only best friend. And that makes us very special indeed.

So rather than spending our energy trying to be special to the big world of 8 billion that has never heard of us, we should try to be extra special to the people who already know we are.

Sincerely,

Mr. Curt
