Fanatics think that their single-minded principles qualify them to do battle with the powers of evil; but like a bull they rush at the red cloak instead of the person who is holding it; he exhausts himself and is beaten. He gets entangled in non-essentials and falls into the trap set by cleverer people.”

You have a lot more time between seasons to talk about what worked and what didn't work, and plan for the future.

“If you read philosophical texts of the tradition, you'll notice they almost never said 'I,' and didn't speak in the first person.
