COPILOT & ME

CoPilot sits this one out as Alexander walks some thoughts out with his good friend Naser. As they walk the busy streets of a bustling downtown, they feel their thoughts walking along side of them. These friends are not shy to dissent or encourage and sometimes in the same thought. Naser discuses negative criticisms and how they should be viewed as constructive, but we should not be shy to dismiss some opinions if their negativity outweighs their benefit. Ultimately, the two friends find they just needed to talk and think it out to resolve whatever issues were ailing them. Enjoy.

We are encouraged by Copilot to venture out of that safety zone to explore a new world of possibilities by opening our minds to the idea that we may have yet to learn all that this life has to provide. We take our conversation to our friend James, who brings a new perspective to the knowledge of absolute truth, to a new level.
