the black pill : a new perspective by Jayakrishnan Nambiar Ingredient 1 “Welcome Sir! A human on earth, were you? How boring! Suit up cause your next one begins soon!” “But I just arrived.” “What do you want? A Sabbatical?” “Well, something like that.” *He laughs hysterically* “You earthlings are SO cute. SUIT UP!” “FINE! Do I get to choose?” “666 planets. 33 million species. Take your pick. Choose wisely.” “Razor. Jake Clawson. Megakat City.” “You got it. Godspeed, my friend!” Ingredient 2 A stripper in Vegas. A terrorist in Afghanistan. A bull fighter in Spain. A samba dancer in Brazil. A nuclear physicist in Russia. A transsexual in India. A thief in Dubai. A tribal woman in South Africa. Imagine waking up as a new person, every morning. Will you learn to love more? Respect more? Be more accepting and not just tolerant? Be more kind and compassionate? Food for thought.
