You did very well. You were more patient than most of us were with him.

Remember our discussion of the church last night? He is a RC and knows the social justice teachings. That’s the source of the dissonance - he knows what he is supposed to do but he also allowed himself to be trapped by his father’s bigoted GOP identity which is where his understanding of the Cold War and the end justifying the means, comes from. That, in the end, is what has won.

He could repent, as the word actually means, and turn away from this path but most people never let themselves look deeply enough into their souls to actually do that and, to carry GDF’s analogy a bit further, would rather dance off the edge into the volcano clutching their “Precious” instead.
