It goes along with some thoughts I found myself caught up in the as I saw so many different faces on the subways, on the streets in that other big city-- I could feel sadness and heavy burdens around people-- I found myself saying silent prayers for their well-being. <BR/><BR/>There was one little boy probably about 6 who was with a man perhaps in his 20s. The boy was so full of life and I could see the care the 'dad' (?) had for him-- but the dad looked worn, even at that young age and I hurt thinking of what kind of life was ahead for the boy. There is not so much of contrast in this Utah world i live in-- at least not where I spend most of my days-- people still have challenges I know but that in-your-face kind of awareness that you describe does rip you out of complacency. I just want to say that I appreciate that you have those thoughts and that you share them ..once again.Into the Wood'shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10550229246425151175noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3723856203174147067.post-19476379926507462732008-05-27T13:48:00.000+09:002008-05-27T13:48:00.000+09:00Wow, I really enjoyed what you had to say. This i...Wow, I really enjoyed what you had to say. This is exactly how I feel. I also find it easier to be more critical of those who are consider themselves as "righteous" or those who pursue the Christian idea of "righteousness". Why is that? Maybe human nature makes us judge people who share our same lifestyle. Maybe we expect more of people similar to ourselves? Or maybe it is the anthropologist in me that finds people who are not like myself, fascinating... and therefore I am more likely to accept them for who they are. Definitely something to think about and definitely something to work on too. <BR/><BR/>Great food for thought. And yes, you exhude brilliance...
