Thank you Judy,
Michael Kendrick said at one stage that: 'once you understand that you are
part of the problem you are (may be) on the way to a solution". So, my
answer to you is that it would force me to rexamine my premises. "am I the
only one in the platoon in step?" and 'Am I marching to a different drummer,
and why/" Things like that. It may well give me a better insight into me,
and enhance my sense of worth.
