Say, "There is no doubt that I could be wrong." If you cannot do this, then you do not possess the idea, the idea possesses you. {{Change will never happen when people lack the ability and courage to see themselves for who they are.}} {{An intelligent person is never afraid or ashamed to find errors in their understanding of things.}} {{We must evolve beyond our limited thinking in terms of exclusion and inclusion regarding people.}} Human nature seems to drift so easily into, and hold so feverishly onto the insane mentality of intensely competitive, us-versus-them rivalries of black-and-white and good-and-bad thinking. {{His-story is steeped in a dark misery, that stems from the phenomenon of social identities, that arises from even the most trivial characteristics.}} These thought-forms of social identities then become the class war-platforms, from which privileged groups work for greater power consolidation through favoritism. This is how class, privilege and prejudice converge to become a master's heel of control on a modern slave class. These divide and {{control thought-forms are the basis of our deepest moral crisis.}} Male and female, black and white, citizen and non-citizen, Christian and Muslim, Protestant and Catholic; it seems there is no end to the dichotomous splitting and oppositional thinking of we and us, versus they and them. **Source:** [[books/Voice of Reason Book (2009-2012)|Voice of Reason]] <!-- bryant-content-generator:end -->
