and people devise a set of rules to fill the space.

Books are the greatest gift one person can give another.

I'm actually starting to like more and more people
who have convictions that are unpopular.
Now at what point does an unpopular conviction
interfere with your own human rights?

and I find it hard to be in their company most of the time.

When crossing over fences, carry water with you
and tend the grass wherever you may be.

this is a frightening prospect.
