Look in the mirror. The face that pins you with its double gaze reveals a chastening secret. You are looking into a predator's eyes. Most predators have eyes set right on the front of their heads, so they can use binocular vision to sight and track their prey. . . .

As long as we are human, we are destined to make mistakes. We all fall prey to flawed beliefs and views.
