Everyone you meet...

This is what one of Kevin Brockmeier's characters understands (from his book The View from the Seventh Layer)

"There was no one alive who did not contribute his share of mystery to the world."

How true.

Including the sad shape the world is in; we've all contributed to that, too...

Thank you for reading that, Anastasia!
I think the word "mystery" was intended by the author to be construed positively--since everyone is a mystery...
