Many of us resist self-examination by thinking of ourselves as more or less balanced, or within an accepted boundary—“At least I’m not as bad as [so-and-so],” or, “At least I don’t do THAT…”  IMHO this is a counterproductive viewpoint.  Rather than asking myself, “How do I stay comfortable within the margins of society?”  I find it more helpful to ask, “How do I keep evolving?”  We are at a rare moment in our collective transition—where it is possible to choose evolution out of nobility rather than necessity.  

I hope to take full advantage of it.  😉
