My brother Haruna,
 
I am going to keep it short and sincere with you.
 
Your new vibes are grinding my intestines, though I intend not to hurt your feelings by my critical opposition to the spree. Please learn from what happened to others. I may agree with the idea that the man must be engaged but your new tone of language is just truly grinding my intestines. It could be my understanding of this new philosophy is limited in which case I dearly apologize for being a stubborn child –talk-all, leave-none. Do your GDP and refrain from sidelining these folks. 
 
I thank you for your positive endeavors.
 
Urs in Kin
Yero (little brother)
