“One reason we rush so quickly to the vulgar satisfactions of judgement, and love to revel in our righteous outrage, is that it spares us from the impotent pain of empathy, and the harder, messier work of understanding. Let me propose that if your beliefs or convictions matter more to you than people—if they require you to act as though you were a worse person than you are—you may have lost perspective.”
Tim Kreider
“What comes out of a person, that is what makes them unclean. From within people, from their minds and hearts, come wicked thoughts, immorality, theft, murder, adultery, greed, malice, deceit, licentiousness, envy, blasphemy, pride, and foolishness. All these evils come from within and they make one unclean.”
Mark 7:20-23
“A proud man is always looking down on things and people; and, of course, as long as you are looking down, you cannot see something that is above you.”
C. S. Lewis
