What I have found is that it's easier to see how other people get played, and much harder usually to see what happens in the first person. The most productive way and useful for the world that I found so far is to focus on own clarity about "facts" and pray for clarity for all good people, personally I always pray to know what is actually true, whether it is exactly how I see it now or not. I have changed my mind about a number of things over the past four years, and I will probably do it again many times. :) The condescending prayer ("I know what's true, so let them see the world I how see it") is somewhat less effective, I think. It also falls into the same thing, everyone can only legitimately do their own work. It is very common (and I have done it many times) for people to focus on what "others should do" and neglect one's own job, while being VERY busy with thinking about what others should do. None of it is a formula of course, but it seems the most productive to leave all judgement to the Creator and pray to do one's job well and in a gratifying manner!
very easy to call bullshit on others, but not so easy to look in the mirror and call bullshit on ourselves! i have changed my mind many times over the last 4 years as well...but i guess that makes me movable with data :)
i didn't go into this to judge anybody. it was just brutal to stand there helplessly and watch in horror as people i loved with all my heart, people i would have taken a bullet for, walked straight off the cliff. guess that's when you turn everything over to the creator.
