The quote from the passage I will be responding to is “The steady companionship of two or three kindred spirits can help us find the courage we need to speak and act as citizens.” and “It is equally true that we spend most of our lives in "tribes" or lifestyle enclaves—and that thinking of the world in terms of "us" and "them" is one of the many limitations of the human mind.” When I read both of these quotes I can’t help but think that they contradict each other. They both share the same idea…

The “packing party” was organized by Pamela Stewart, and was attended by kids and teens from the Triple Vision group, and friends of Pamela, in addition to the seniors.
