"Every bomb first explodes in the imagination." Jesus knew this, too, when he stated we commit violence toward a neighbor even when we think about doing so. Our thoughts, our imaginations need need to be converted to the mind of Christ. Our lips can speak platitudes while our hearts seek revenge. The Sikhs live the beatitude, "Blessed are the peacemakers."
MIGHT IT BE... that we are forgetting that we are DIVINE REFLECTION... and so no longer notice ourselves in the face of the other.
Good point, Mary.
