Love

You know what holds humanity up most?

That we are all just too foolish and cowardly to live up to our values. Or to face honestly that we do not.

How is it possible for a people so premised around Christian values spend 10 years rationalizing why they should not have to live up to Christianity's central premise: forgiveness, love, and compassion for our neighbors?

When you take a step back from it, it is both funny and sad all at once.

And the truth is that there is and never will be any real progress until we get over it.

I see slow, faint glimmers of hope. We're getting there. Just excruciatingly slow.

However long it takes, I suppose.

That's why forgiveness and compassion are so important.

Because we are the ones who, in the end, will need it most.

Luckily, love always finds a way. Always.
