Our mutual discomfort reminds me of two quotes.
One of them was spoken by Marlon Brando in Mutiny on the Bounty. I forget the context, but it was something to do with the strange ways of the Tahitians. One of the crew (or maybe Bligh himself?) was disgusted by one of their customs or something, to which Brando quipped, in that dashing British accent he sported, "Yes, well, I suppose it takes all kinds to make a world."
It was delicious.
Also, one of my favorite sayings (from a Roman, I forget which one, maybe Terrence?): "Nihil hominis alienum est mihi."
Nothing human is alien to me.
