looking at ourselves

People will do anything, no matter how absurd,

 in order to avoid facing their own soul.

                                           Carl Gustav Jung

__________________________________________

People will do anything

People will believe anything

People will engage in any behaviors

That allows them to stay the way they are

That will allow them to stay entrenched

In hate

Self-righteousness and fear

That will permit them to exclude

Minimize, judge and oppress

destroy

When we refuse to look at ourselves

Refuse to look at how we think

How we view others

(Which is revealed in what we say, and what we do, and who we vote for)

When we will not entertain the idea

That we might be wrong

That the problem might be us

We are in great danger

Of becoming

Horrors
