There are two kinds of people in the world. The other kind is not me.

I love that joke, but only because it is so riotously true – of everyone. We are each one of us in an empathy of opposites with everyone else, and the hardest job for any of us is to acknowledge that simple fact.

I have things better than anyone else, I think, because I am apparently 180° opposed to everyone. Almost no one sees the world my way, nor I theirs. That might make me wrong. It might make me crazy. Or it might mean you’re getting a whole lot wrong. Guess which way I’m betting?

Here’s the good news: If you are ass-backwards about everything, this is an easy malady to mend. All you have to do is turn around…

And so to Church:
