These past few weeks I have been feeling a great sadness over how vicious and ugly people can be, how Israelis can cheer while bombs fall on palestine, how Hamas fighters can launch rockets blindly, how ISIS can behead children, how the world can continue with business as usual and not dissolve in grief. Ive tried to hold back my tears, with some success. And I have thought about just finding a quiet place and letting my grief flow. But I am either too dull or too afraid. I just cry briefly here and there. I wonder if Robin Williams was brave enough to open himself to feel the full force of human evil. I wonder if he allowed it into his heart, and it just broke. Perhaps Robin left us because he ran out of hope that humanity could ever finally turn away from its viciousness. Lord: I declare my willingness: to see all the consequences of my actions, to be shaken in my conscience, to pierce the fog of selfishness. I pray for the power to lay selfishness aside and act only for The Greatest Good. I am sincere. Lord, help my insincerity.
