Your mother was a wise woman. She’s right that the feeling of superiority, a sense of entitlement that allows those who believe to take what they want without regard for the “other” who is a lesser being. It’s been the source of so much suffering in this world. I find it difficult to accept that in this day and age people can still think this way. I’ve heard many people who were raised in Israel speak of being indoctrinated in the belief that Jews, as the chosen people, are superior to others, that non Jews aren’t fully human beings

I love your mum and her humanity. She’s right that believing you’re superior opens the door to evil.
