At this point in history, our society tends to elevate and reward the specialist.. This concentrated focus has brought some benefits.. It may also be a modern malady. Specialization, when taken too far and allowed to define who and what we are, becomes limiting. It robs us of our wholeness and our self-sufficiency. It misses the big picture and confines us to a narrow zoom. And it leaves us at the mercy of experts. . Keith Stewart
