Believe Life Is Complicated

More From Kay Redfield Jamison

This is a diseased century. we diagnosed the disease and its causes with microscopic exactness, but whenever we applied the healing knife a new sore appeared. our will was hard and pure, we should have been loved by the people, but they hate us. why are we so odious and detested? we brought you truth and in our mouth it sounded like a lie. we brought you freedom, and it looks in our hands like a whip. we brought you the living life, and where our voice is heard the trees wither and there is a rustling of dry leaves. we brought you the promise of the future, but our tongue stammered and barked.

The sikh gave him the money. when menon asked for his address so that he could repay the man, the sikh said that menon owed the debt to any stranger who came to him in need, as long as he lived. the help came from a stranger and was to be repaid to a stranger.

Love is real, real is love, love is feeling, feeling love, love is wanting to be loved. love is touch, touch is love, love is reaching, reaching love, love is asking to be loved. love is you, you and me, love is knowing, we can be. love is free, free is love, love is living, living love, love is needing to be loved.

But violence is news, to a certain extent, and people don't want complicated news. because as soon as you realize things are complicated, your life becomes more complicated.

What's been important in my understanding of myself and others is the fact that each one of us is so much more than any one thing. a sick child is much more than his or her sickness. a person with a disability is much, much more than a handicap. a pediatrician is more than a medical doctor. you're much more than your job description or your age or your income or your output.

Don't wait for a feeling or love in order to share christ with a stranger. you already love your heavenly father, and you know that this stranger is created by him, but separated from him... so take those first steps in evangelism because you love god. it is not primarily out of compassion for humanity that we share our faith or pray for the lost; it is first of all, love for god.

Wise statesmen ... established these great self-evident truths, that when in the distant future some man, some faction, some interest, should set up the doctrine that none but rich men, or none but white men, were entitled to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, their posterity should look up again at the declaration of independence and take courage to renew the battle which their fathers began.
