One reason I stay is because of reality.   I don't need to believe I'm the greatest person alive to continue living in my body, either.   I can like the world just fine without delusions of grandeur or pumping up my false pride.

No one every created freedom and justice from 300 years of genocide and slavery.   It doesn't happen.   People who slaughter millions of Native Americans and enslave millions of African Americans don't know how to create a world where "all men are equal."   It can't happen.   It's not possible.
