The principle for Day #60 on the 101-day book report says: "Special is the work of the ego."
I think the idea here is that we are all equals. Because when we think we're special, we can rationalize doing a whole lot of unpleasant things. At least, I think that what was going through my head at the times I trespassed in my life.
So going forward, I'm going to try and resist the temptation. In such a privileged country as ours, there's really no need to be special anyway. And in my own twisted way, there's nothing else I'd rather be.
