“Pain insists upon being attended to. God whispers
to us in our pleasures, speaks in our consciences, but shouts in our pains. It
is his megaphone to rouse a deaf world.”
― C.S. Lewis

so much pain
people of hate with guns
politicians who are thugs
the oppression of women
the poor neglected
domestic violence
divorce
alienation
people hiding in social media
internet trolls
loneliness
depression
people dying
so much pain
dis-ease has a way
of moving us
but we have a choice
of which way to move
we can move toward fear and hate
we can fight pain
in ways that give short term satisfaction
but ultimately create more pain
or we can deal with our pain
by moving toward love
by activating compassion
by doing what
seems foolish
like loving our enemies
kind of like Jesus
