The world seems to go more crazy by the day! Wickedness and hatred seem to be the norm on the macro level, and yet we still find that people’s preference is for peace and goodness and kindness in their own lives. There is a disconnect. The latest scandal in politics hardly surprises us, even whilst we find the content shocking.
How do we keep sane in all of this? How do we remain hopeful?
I think sanity lies in seeking goodness. It is in recognising that the ordinary people around us live lives largely based on decency and kindness. Hope requires that we keep on ‘showing up’ together to witness to something greater and more loving. We need to bring our attention to the local, where goodness and truth are accessible and where hatred and greed cant hide in anonymity. We need to know each other.
