To underline: the moral crusader filled with righteous indignation proceeds obsessively, not calmly or with clarity; and his efforts are sterile, ineffective, undermined by his own lack of self-awareness. Only contemplative attention that reflects things just as they are, like a mirror and without judging, can heal the passions.
–Isaac Slater, OCSO, “Do Not Judge Anyone”: Desert Wisdom for a Polarized World
