A Good Person

(February 27, 2022)

Remember that a good person was never made without another having pity on them in their state of evil and rebellion. And they most often first appeared very hostile and unapproachable. To create better people, one must always push into the darkness first to pull another out into the light. Separation will do nothing of the sort. 

In efforts of security and preservation, those who think they’re good isolate themselves because they cannot get the mess of the world on their hands. They forget that this most often accomplishes the opposite of their desire. They are not making the world a better place but only their world— a world that will grow smaller and smaller as they isolate to wash the dirt and disorder of others off their clothing. And then, the greater outer world will nevertheless grow and encroach upon their “place of safety” by taking it over and consuming it, and then it will be too late for any hopes of changing an evil and rebellious world to be good.
