This was an outstanding but brief read. It made me sit in silence and reflect for a full hour. I highly recommend it to anyone willing to read it. It's important to take a moment to reflect on the meaning and point of this story. What I took from this story is just how it relates to our world today and how we often create these bubbles around ourselves that act as barriers, separating us from the realities occurring outside those bubbles.
