I’m all for focusing on someone’s better qualities, but not at the cost of ignorance. IMHO, if you can’t examine someone’s dark side, then you run the risk of it becoming your own. But if I let that examination be infected by ego, then I’m at risk of becoming elitist. As the path narrows, the core qualities will keep us balanced: vigilance, attention to detail, humility, discipline, creativity…
And? Being able to laugh at ourselves. 🙂

Being able to laugh at ourselves cures many “ills”… well said, sir!

Love your musings, dude. Are you a fan of Bill Hicks, by any chance?

I think I would be if I listened to him. I’ve heard bits of him through Joe Rogan, and there was a significant moment involving him in one of my favorite comic books: Preacher. As I understand it, he was fearless, smart, and insightful. I’ll have to give him a try some day!
