Jesus tapped me on the shoulder and said, bob, why are you resisting me? i said, i'm not resisting you! he said, you gonna follow me? i said, i've never thought about that before! he said, when you're not following me, you're resisting me.

A belief, however necessary it may be for the preservation of a species, has nothing to do with truth. the falseness of a judgment is not for us necessarily an objection to a judgment. the question is to what extent it is life-promoting, life-preserving, species preserving, perhaps even species cultivating. to recognize untruth as a condition of life--that certainly means resisting accustomed value feelings in a dangerous way; and a philosophy that risks this would by that token alone place itself beyond good and evil.

Psychics Doe Prejudice
Charity is having patience with someone who has let us down. it is resisting the impulse to become offended easily. it is accepting weaknesses and shortcomings. it is accepting people as they truly are. it is looking beyond physical appearances to attributes that will not dim through time. it is resisting the impulse to categorize others.
