I have to leave soon for a meeting. I have to try to help someone see his blind spots. I have to be open and vulnerable in order to do this. I have to be ready to be wrong. I have to be gentle and kind. I have to be mindful of one of my core beliefs - that we all are doing the best we can.
He's doing the best he can. The best he knows how to do.
I have to remember that if I had lived his life, with his experiences; if I had seen what he's seen, felt what he's felt, lived what he's lived ... I'd be acting the same way.
I have to go.
The ignorant are unaware. The stupid know better.
Hopefully this person's bliss lies in ignorance.
