It is easier to find fault with others than finding common ground. If I can find all of the reasons why the other person is wrong about any issue, then I need not change any of my beliefs. Villains are a convenience that allows me to feel righteous ,and certain about my values and opinions. However. villains often are a way for me to avoid growth ,and the possibility that some of what they believe may be valid and worth examining. Before I shut my mind to others, it would be worthwhile to open my eyes and ears to the possibility that the real Villain is a closed heart.
