I have a problem with a few things in life, namely:
Holding grudges for years
Wielding a higher education over those of lesser learning
Not seeing both sides of a situation
Not heeding our own conscience or well intended advice
Those who believe being right is their right even when they are wrong
Those who wield their power to the detriment of others
Those who believe their lives matter more than someone else’s
Not using forgiveness as a way to ease a variety of social illnesses
Abandonment…human or otherwise
Seeing the speck in another’s eye without observing the log in our own
I could go on and on but I have a problem with me having a problem with all of this.
Eleven very real problems for all of us, but we alone don’t face them alone, others see them too and work on them from their own perspective and thru God’s love we create a better world in time, His time, God give us the patience to wait for his result and the insight to see the nuances of progress no matter how small. Thanks for caring so deeply about that better world for all.
Ah, the frustration of it all!
I learned a lot about the destructive power of grudges reading the novel My Antonia by Willa Cather.
Thanks for that, Roger. I’ll look into it.
