I agree with pride and fear as being tremendous obstacles to taking responsibility. I don't think we really see that in ourselves so I think I sum up those two obstacles as lack of accountability. We may be either to good to allow someone else to judge us, or afraid of what we might see if someone held up a mirror for us.

No doubt many people are extremely hurt and now hindered in their pursuits in life as a result of Lance's failure. Let's hope that there isn't too much faith in others lost as a result. Thanks for taking time to comment!
