"Nobody is more dangerous than he who imagines himself pure in heart; for his purity, by definition, is unassailable"

This quote by James A. Baldwin talks to the risk of those who think themselves to be morally superior. It recommends that those who believe they are pure in heart are more harmful than others because they are not able to acknowledge their own flaws and predispositions. This can lead to a sense of self-righteousness and an absence of compassion for those who are various from them. This can result in an unsafe sense of entitlement and a neglect for the rights of others. It is essential to keep in mind that nobody is ideal which we all have our own biases and prejudices. We need to make every effort to be knowledgeable about our own defects and aim to be open-minded and understanding of others.
