I think you have more intellectual humility than the entire rest of the internet combined. I'm genuinely barely even exaggerating at all. It's very rare to see people publicly admit that they were wrong online, as you so regularly do. This was a very well-written reflection, I enjoyed it a lot. Keep up the good work!

שמואל א' או:יב

יפה עינים וטוב ראי

Samuel I 16:12 "with fair eyes and a pleasing appearance." In the original Hebrew it can be read as 'with beautiful eyes and seeing the good.'

A Rabbi, (I don't remember who) connected this to the later description of David's followers (22:2) as 'embittered souls' — David saw the good in them, and they gathered around him.
