Gross Generality vs. Gentle Gnosis
Here's one that I struggle with a lot, and I see others also struggling. Perhaps some of it is age related (healthy?) cynicism. http://i63.tinypic.com/2j4wl11.jpg Gross generality. Like dropping a nuclear bomb, sometimes a gross generality is the most socially violent and dismissive thing we can do ...
