    Imagine being so wealthy and powerful you never have to be ashamed. Elmo will never have to be confronted with criticism except on his own terms. Their are legions who will stroke his ego and eloquently explain why he’s always in the right.

    Never being confronted with your mistakes is worse than making you arrogant… it rots your fucking brain. You become lazy and uncritical of yourself. You become stupid. Being a “great man” is a degenerative neurological disorder.
