FOOLS

*********************

To call someone a fool is bad enough; but what is infinitely worse is to waste the rest of your life trying to prove him a fool.

But perhaps what I am talking about here is not an individual aberration but one that is typical of our leaders -- our role models. After committing a blunder, our leaders too spend the rest of their lives trying to prove opposition wrong.

But once we admit to be human, it would be a serious blunder to believe only those who flatter us by agreeing with us; because to do so would imply that we are perfect or blameless or beyond criticism.

Which is where our critics come in.

Surely, they can’t all be wrong!
