Three Great Untruths

[W]e are unintentionally teaching a generation of students three ”great untruths.” They are:

  • The great untruth of fragility: What doesn’t kill you makes you weaker.
  • The great untruth of emotional reasoning: Your feelings are always right.
  • The great untruth of us versus them: Life is a battle between good people and evil people.
