Plenty of issues for a significant life long response of insight and compassion.

As a fairly isolated WTR person for quite a few years, I have found myself promoting my civil disobedience frequently. Occasionally I have been told that people do not generally like self promotion and think less of people who engage in it. Mr. Trump is roundly disparaged for his self promotion. Is our effort to encourage others to undertake WTR seen as a way that we claim to be better than others? If we view ourselves as taking the moral high road, does that include looking down on others?
