That was a good article.
After many years, I realize the true rewards of my recovery from childhood abuse…it has enabled the development of moral clarity, self-reliance, courage and compassion (and no regard whatsoever for the status quo) to an extent that I might not have had otherwise.
If my experience helps me to perceive wrong, prevent it or protect even one other person, then it was more than worth it.
When we are given a chance to do the right thing, grab it with both hands and all your heart…THIS is the good fight!

I have a different interpretation. I think people who fit in, who are team players, and who internalize organizational loyalty above personal ethics are less likely to break ranks even when human decency absolutely demands that ranks be broken. And history is full of sad lessons that this includes most people. Certainly organizational conformity is what we teach children is important.

That about sums it up. Great article.

Such a well written post … thank you.

I’ve posted this to my Facebook page in hopes that more people will come by for a look and I will likely link to you and a few others when I am able to complete my post on the impact of Penn State. I’ve not been able to write about this yet having just worked though some old feelings triggered by the Herman Cain sexual harassment story. I did manage to write about that at the link below if you wish to read it. I’ll understand it you’d rather not have it linked in the comment and choose to delete it.
