    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…

    Ignorance isn’t vanquished by beating our chests and sneering at it; it’s vanquished by acknowledging how easily we could have indulged in it.   Because if we were thrown a few chance twists of fate, WE could have been those very people we’re tempted to dismiss as “ignorant.”
