During interviews yesterday for the university scholars program, a topic came up that veered toward church and church-going. One of the students, a particularly strong woman who was totally unafraid to speak her mind, pointed out that she didn't need a specific religion to be good. "I'm a good person," she proclaimed, quite sure of herself. I thought it was touching, and appreciated her willingness to openly speak her mind. She was a remarkable interviewee.
Since that interview, I've been preoccupied with how life eventually catches up with us and teaches us otherwise. Life and time always win.
We're therefore obligated to show mercy, be kind, be humble.
Give every man his due, Hamlet says, and who shall escape whipping?
