Growing up in poverty one approaches life reactively. Getting an education and becoming a professional one must be proactive. As someone who grew up in poverty, received and education and hold a professional job I have found myself in limbo. So much of who I am is shaped by my childhood. So much of what I want to become necessitate a proactive approach to life. Recently I have often found myself in limbo between these two approaches/perspectives on life.
I want to use this blog to deal with issue.
Hi Chico.
ReplyDeleteThank your visiting and commenting on new blog, Heavenly Minded & Earthly Good. My older blog, Rattus Scribus was started as a way of communicating mostly with family and close friends. HM & EG is directed more to issue related to what I write and teach about, as a way of inviting discussion on the given topics.
You asked a question regarding my second and most recent post, "Why did Jesus cross the road? To get to the "other".
I had written: "...not even those who claimed to know and worship the only true God, had enough compassion to save him, even though it was well within their power." You asked: How was it well within their reach?
I refer to the simple act of BEING a neighbor. But for that to happen, we must cross the road. They and we have the power to cross the road. But will we? Sometimes crossing the road is the greatest act of humanity of all.
God bless,
Ruben
