More From Grace Paley

Knowing god without knowing our own wretchedness makes for pride. knowing our own wretchedness without knowing god makes for despair. knowing jesus christ strikes the balance because he shows us both god and our own wretchedness.
Jesus Pride Knowing
There's a difference between knowing god and knowing about god. knowing about god is all of the stuff we've been told and all of the books we've read and all of our religious experiences and what others have told us and tried to convince us of. but knowing god is when we make conscious contact.
Religious Book Convince Us

Knowing how to swim doesn't come from someone else showing you or someone else telling you or watching movies of other people swimming. it comes from having been in the water, knowing how to move yourself through the water and not sink. and it's true of virtually everything in our lives: knowing comes from direct experience.

Knowing has two poles, and they are always poles apart: carnal knowing, the laying on of hands, the hanging of the fact by head or heels, the measurement of mass and motion, the calibration of brutal blows, the counting of supplies; and spiritual knowing, invisibly felt by the inside self, who is but a fought-over field of distraction, a stage where we recite the monotonous monologue that is our life, a knowing governed by internal tides, by intimations, motives, resolutions, by temptations, secrecy, shame, and pride.
Spiritual Knowledge Pride
The pain comes from more than the facts of circumstance, or the deeds of others. it comes from within. from understanding what we lost. it comes from knowing how foolish we were - vain, arrogant children - when we thought ourselves happy. it comes from knowing how fragile and doomed the old ways were, just when we thought them and ourselves, secure!. the pain comes from knowing we have never been safe, and therefore will never be safe again. it comes from knowing we can never be children again.

After using the 'good offices' of un diplomacy (economic sanctions and weapons inspections) to ensure that iraq was brought to its knees, its people starved, half a million of its children killed, its infrastructure severely damaged, after making sure that most of its weapons have been destroyed, in an act of cowardice that must surely be unrivalled in history, the 'allies' / 'coalition of the willing' (better known as the coalition of the bullied and bought) - sent in an invading army!
