"We want all of our friends to tell us our bad qualities; it is only the particular ass that does so whom we cannot tolerate."
William James
19th century American psychologist/philosopher
Along with karma, candor too can be a particular bitch.
However if we can summon the intestinal fortitude to listen we may learn something very important albeit painful.

when i was younger i thought anyone who disagreed with me was wrong. the older i get the less i think that is true. they're still an ass but they may be right.
Well that's progress isn't it. Unless of course, you're wrong about possibly being wrong.
