    Evaluate people instance by instance, context by context, and act accordingly.  That way, you can do everything in your power to avoid the worst and eke the best out of any given person. The idea of demonizing or idolizing someone is an introductory stepping stone that–as you continue to evolve–becomes a weighty anchor that threatens…
