Two humans, two contrasting “cubicles” assigned at birth — two opposite behaviors! Then they began a journey, affecting them equally — same road, same obstacles — and their differences yielded to common grounds. Their teamwork will ensure survival, no poison pill stifling compromise!

Logic, courage, respect for one another became their foundation and key to a triumphal outcome. The restrictive “cocoon” we inherited as we join the human race is a flawed creation — historically, religiously, politically, ideologically — and a lifetime challenge. The environment, circumstances of the moment can easily enslave most if principles are abandoned, ignorance “CONveniently” plays a role as well.

I highly recommend this new movie “Green Book.” It demonstrates that occasional evolution is achievable and we as humans can become whole. We are not born equal, here lies our challenge, to strive for decency, for equality! Isn’t it time to question, possibly put to rest, the fallacious theory of “good dogs” and “bad dogs”?
