be around. At the same time, it won’t—and shouldn’t—always be 1 possible to surround yourself with people who see things the way j you do: be ready to leave your comfort zone, and bring a generous 1 heart when you do. j

When you forgive others for their incoherence, selfishness, and ' errors, you can discern what they have to offer you. When you j practice a form of justice that takes responsibility for setting things right, you can heal rather than impotently dispensing guilty verdicts. When you are patient with impatience, when you refrain from being self-righteous even and especially with the self-righteous, when you approach every conflict as an opportunity to learn from your own mistakes, you can do your part to liberate all of us prisoners of war.

This is dedicated to all those who have done this over the years, who have taken it for granted that for all their clumsiness, people from other backgrounds and advocates of other tactics really did want to coexist and cooperate with them: to the working class j men and women who took the time to explain to bourgeois activ- j ists how they were alienating them, even when the latter did not I first know how to listen; to the women who not only demanded men recognize the existence and effects of their sexism, but also ; acknowledged the fears and anxieties men feel; to the survivors of abuse who went on to counsel both abused and abusers. Without them, we would assuredly have torn each other to pieces already. It’s • frightening to let your guard down, it’s hard to swallow your pride j even when clinging to it would mean betraying yourself—but this is the only way to help others do the same. :

Don’t be intimidated by the colossal challenge of “saving the world”; there are as many worlds as there are people—save yours, ) the one made up of the life you share with those around you. Where one flower blooms, a million more will follow.
