goodness and light, etc.

It all makes for a great story, and as a selfconfessed “incurable optimist,” I believe in “goodness and light.” But sadly, that story is changing, and there is more to it, much more, and the whole story rarely gets told.

A lot of these people are so crooked they have to screw their socks on in the morning! They can’t not victimize people if they see an opening. They will lie when the truth would do better because it is just their nature.

My dad used to say, “There is something about that old boy over there that I just can’t stand about me!” What he was saying is that he could see in others only that which he had to some degree within himself. The converse is true: If we don’t have it within ourselves, we can be quite blind to it. That’s why I’m working to put these potentialities consciously on your radar screen, so you can see them, even though they are foreign to your way of thinking.

We will challenge many timeworn beliefs, and if they withstand challenge, then fine, hang on tight. But if they don’t, be prepared to hit the eject button and radically change what you think, feel, believe, and do.
