Since (not if) we begin in media res - in the middle of things - it is important to acknowledge the many things that make us who we are. These are things about being human that we did not choose (and they weren't necessarily chosen for us either).
Gender.
Race.
Ethnicity.
Height.
Eye color.
And so many more.
And that's a good exercise... add to our list of what we did not choose in life - what we didn't have a choice about, things beyond our choice. Parent(s), geography, education, DNA, rich or poor or in between, I.Q. (duh!). The list can go on, and on, and on....
Discovering what's on our list is important - very important.
Why? Because we all begin in the middle of things.
