Question

Help answer this question below.

In light of Osama's death, I think this is the perfect time to ask all AB members: How do you know that *you* aren't a monster?

How do you know that you aren't an awful, perhaps abominable creature in the things you believe, the things you stand for and the things you fight for? Every evil person throughout history totally believed what they were doing was "right". So how are any of us any differant doing what we believe is "right"? If we get our beliefs/morals from elsewhere how do we trust that source when most if not all of them have opposing viewpoints with equally compelling arguments?

Does this problem give any of you pause? Do you ever stop and think "maybe I should let those who contradict me win. Maybe they aren't the mistakes I see tham as, maybe *I'm* the mistake they make me out to be!" Do you ever worry about the road you've taken, no matter how "right" it feels?
