No ideas should be beyond analysis and criticism. When they are, dogmatic behaviour develops, which can lead to unhealthy and sometimes catastrophic consequences. Ideas shape our world and affect our actions, we should choose them wisely.
We should only compare ourselves with the person we were yesterday. Making the world a better place starts with the person in the mirror. We are all capable of improving the world around us by sharing our creativity & knowledge or by simply relieving the suffering of others.
