Summary

This quote highlights the inherent human tendency to find it easier to sympathize with the person who has been offended rather than facing accountability for causing offense.

The quote highlights the need to reflect on our actions and be mindful of the impact we have on others.

To me, all creativity is magic. Ideas start out in the empty void of your head - and they end up as a material thing, like a book you can hold in your hand. That is the magical process.
