Bishop's Gambit: A Story of Rage and Revenge

Richard Rohr once wrote, “The human ego prefers anything, just
about anything, to failing or changing or dying.” And he was just
talking about your garden variety, Joe Average ego. Not the
supercharged, steroid-pumped kind that our villain today was cursed
with. What’s at the core of an ego like that is a quivering little
wad of insecurity, so fragile that the tiniest disagreement can
feel like a humiliating slight. And all the ego can do to make its
sad little wad feel better is get angry…or maybe take revenge. And
if it decides to carjack the rest of the brain and go on a joyride,
everybody within a hundred miles better run.
