believe past evil
I'm a writer of faith who worries about the intolerance of religion. I look at the past and fear we haven't learned from it. I believe that humanity is capable of evil as well as great acts of courage and goodness. I have hope. Deep down, I believe in the human spirit, although sometimes that belief is shaken.
world obsession mutual
When you're in the world looking for only one thing, you find it or it finds you. The obsession can be mutual
bad-things
But there it is: Everyone is alone, for life, and maybe that's not such a bad thing.
