If you compare yourself with others, you may become vain or bitter - - - for always there will be greater and lesser persons than yourself. . . .

Orson Scott Card

The criminal misuse of time was pointing out the mistakes. Catching them―noticing them―that was essential.

The part of the man's statement that was true, however, was about the uselessness of speaking up.
