I don't know what to do with this other than to just sit with it for a while. It hurts. But it feels like a necessary hurt. One that I need to keep probing to remind myself of.
I need to turn it over in my head for a while....but I'm pretty sure it's brilliant. We all should all read it and think about it. And then maybe read it again. I feel a bit broken, but also hopeful.
This is a book that may make you not like yourself at times. It will make you look at yourself more deeply, examine your core motivations and actions, pehaps make you feel guilty about your ability to accept the status quo...but it should be required reading anyway.
