You've faced horrors in these past weeks... I don't know which is worse. The terror you feel the first time you witness such things, or the numbness that comes after it starts to become ordinary.
Yeah, that__ my experience. Humbling to the point where you have major regrets about some of the stupid things you said, some of the things you thought were right. You keep going to these countries, and it__ like, you forgot the lesson from the last time. Because the first person you encounter kind of bitch-slaps you upside the head in the most wonderful, innocent way and you realize, God, I__ still an asshole. And this guy, by doing nothing except being broke and so incredibly polite__t takes you aback, you realize, I__ still not there yet. I still have like eight miles to go before I can even get into the parking lot of humility. I have to keep going back. It__ like going back to a chiropractor to get a readjustment. That__ me in Africa, that__ me in Southeast Asia. You come back humbled and you bring that into your life. It__ made me much more tolerant of other peoples__nd I__ not saying I used to be a misogynist, or I used to be a racist, that was never my problem. But I can be extremely headstrong, impatient, rude. Like, __urry up, man. What__ your problem? Get out of my way._ That sentiment comes easy to me. Going to these countries, you realize none of that is necessary, none of it__ cool, it__ nothing Abraham Lincoln would do, and so why are you doing it? Those are the lessons I__e learned.
