The most dangerous people in the world are those who are convinced they are right. Isrealis think they are right, Arabs think they are right, Osama thinks he is right, Hitler thought he was right, Castro thinks he is right, Catholics think they are right, Mormons think they are right, etc. etc. etc...
Wanna know what insights I've discovered. The thing these people and organizations all having in common? They are all wrong.
I have simplye come to accept that everyone is more wrong than they are right. And this apparent state of "wrongness", the world remains paradoxically unbroken. Things are as they were intended to be. If they weren't they would be otherwise. It seems things are pretty simple, and that in general people work to make them difficult. Don't ya think? I do believe even your belief-system teaches the concept - trust in God, have Faith, give to Caesar what is Caesar's, etc. etc. etc.
