It’s in our human nature
Wanting to be right;
To convince all others,
To take to them the fight.
Everlasting Story — a poem for our times

This reminds me of a favourite quote by W. H. Auden which goes:
“We would rather be ruined than changed
We would rather die in our dread
Than climb the cross of the moment
And let our illusions die.”
