Like others inspired by the Civil Rights Movement of the nineteen sixties and seventies, with their soaring visions of World Peace, Free Love, Complete Equality, and Absolute Justice, I saw my role in the world in, similarly, extravagant terms. However, a lifetime of work on managing relationships (especially between competing and conflicting individuals and groups) has slowly and effectively chipped away at my overly mythical sense of self. Any remaining certainties, not already beaten down by humbling experiences, were soon shattered by how the world has changed since 2008, rendering much of my previous worldview irrelevant.
