Those of us living our lives one day at a time learn to challenge our thinking. This happens to those of us who begin to understand the hypocrisy of some of our judgements. We tell ourselves that others don’t belong. Perhaps we scorn the disabled and the less fortunate. Perhaps we are jumping on the bandwagons of critical taxpayers who blame the disabled and less fortunate for all of their woes. At times we are the pot calling the kettle black. Depression, and/or other struggles, have a tendency of twisting our thinking. As Scrooge once said, “Have we no prisons? Have we no workhouses?” Here is our reality – When we think only of ourselves, we are held in bondage to ourselves, and when we scorn others, our bondage is complete. This is not a nice place to live. Many of us understand this all too well. We learn to challenge ourselves. We understand the meaning of the word grace and we so wish to share it with others. Peace.
