Honesty, Alternatives, Waste

The best people in a dying culture are the outcasts considered crazy by the leaders; the ones most disillusioned with their own culture. In Yeats' phrase, "the best lack all conviction, while the worst are full of passionate intensity."

It is not in your enlightened self-interest to hold grudges, regardless of whether it bothers the person you hate or not.
