The fear to admit that we might be wrong

For whatever reason, this fear - the fear to admit that we might be wrong - is one of the most pernicious and tragic of fears. It is responsible for so much damage in the world.

And all for what?

The more I understand it, the less I understand it.

So much needless tragedy. So sad and foolish.

My life is committed to seeing this foolish tendency, and the tragedy that comes with it, end, as much as possible.

It won't completely. But that is no reason to not expect better of ourselves. And create less of our own tragedy along the way.
