As we better understand who They are, we will also more clearly see ourselves and our place in the world.

What does this mean? The fact is our world is becoming increasingly less expressive. Perhaps we aren't necessarily feeling less, but we certainly aren’t showing what we’re feeling, which isn’t always a bad thing.
