I'm looking for Sharon Miller's text. It's name could be "A Confession For Humanism" but I'm not sure. It's about how human beings wear thousands of 'masks', are afraid to show their innermost, although would want to but need a helping hand... Something like that.

Watch the films, go to the theatre, play a computer game, listen to the ... more
