It is now critical to establish an understanding from the very beginning of this
stage of our diversity journey . It is very easy to see oneself as being at the center
of things, of representing the norm. By extension, it is also very easy to see others
as being off-center, and not being the norm, but being abnormal. If we then cling
to this the ideas and feelings of right and wrong which exist in all of us (as Shrek
would readily tell us), we very quickly find ourselves at the center of a personal
world in which we are right and everyone else is wrong.
