4. The sooner we get this through our heads, the better off we will be.

The human ego is so vast, though. Even with reams of evidence, it will deny and double down. Just because it does not want to feel bad about being wrong.

We have let this attitude continue without addressing it at all. Hell, in some circles, it is considered a positive thing!

Like my good friend always says: "People suck. All people suck. But, a few of us realize that we suck and try to not suck as badly!"

I just wish more of us took that statement to heart.
