You're right that it's pretty normal to be single-minded about<br>the causes that are important to us. I wish we didn't all feel so bad about<br>that. Or, I suppose I can only speak for myself. I wish I didn't feel bad<br>about focusing on only a few causes. I wish I didn't feel like I was letting<br>other people down. Of course, I don't feel let down by people who think<br>their own causes are more important than mine, so I really don't know where<br>that guilt comes from. Maybe that's why I felt like an asshole—ditching that<br>guilt and owning my own priorities—even though I wasn't being an asshole at<br>all. Thanks, Mel.
