Thought of the Day
How much injustice and brutality is carried out in reaction to irrational internal fears? Still, it’s only the most insightful educators or counselors that appreciate this dynamic even on an elementary school playground. Try applying the principle to our adult world, where everyone thinks white men in authority are little less than gods, when in fact they are grown up children who’ve perfected, relatively, the technique of deflection. They deflect their own insecurities by pointing angry fingers at any weakness they can find in others.
