Wow, read this in a heart beat!

So a question: I don’t really understand this statement:

“How, as Derrida says, hospitality always includes some hostility.”

If I understand this right hospitality here means opening ourselves to new and foreign ideas.

If we agree that hospitality always includes hostility, then we also assume that the two parties are different and separate from each other in the first place and that they are perfectly happy in their positions. But if we are seeking new ideas then the change doesn’t have to be painful, in fact it can be quite exhilarating?
