Throughout the world, individuals are identified
(this is only a partial list):
as African, Arab, Asian, European, Hybrid;
as Buddhist, Christian, Hindu, Jewish, Muslim;
as atheist, monotheist, polytheist;
as conservative, liberal, moderate, neo-conservative, radical;
as anarchist, freedom fighter, patriot, revolutionary;
as ethnic, fundamentalist, polemicist, tribal;
as humanist, philosopher, realist;
as capitalist, communist, socialist;
as existentialist, hedonist, narcissist;
as aristocrat, lower-class, middle-class, peasant, proletariat, royalty, upper-class;
as apolitical, democrat, green, independent, libertarian, republican.
Once a self-proclaimed, middle-class, secular humanist,
I have re-identified myself as a creative realist.
I have enlisted reason as a rational way of considering the universe
and everything in it, and creativity for recognizing humankind
as a dynamic, interactive community of possibilities.
