Communication Style
This blog is called If We Will Live. The tone is one of optimism and sincerity—for if we will live, we must choose to identify the path.
A few words on my style and intentions: I believe the words I write. I take a tone of certainty that comes from having logically integrated my own views into a coherent, reality-based whole.
