I’m reacting  to the Wendell Berry passage:

To reach out to someone despite his grandiosity and meanness, despite his having wiped out a woodland

Yes – the man is broken and at  bottom, clinging to the illusion that it’s ok when he knows it’s not.

I could reach out knowing that he could do no harm.  No more woodlands to bulldoze.

But there are those also with grandiosity and meanness who are not broken.   Who have many woodlands to devour.
