"The law, in its majestic equality, forbids the rich as well as the poor to sleep under bridges, to beg in the streets, and to steal bread." ~ Anatole France

When you control the narrative, people blindly defend and believe... What if people saw more evidence like this?

So many in media will preach all day how Trump and republicans are racist, not surprised that no one knows the racist things that Biden has said...

Thought for Saturday, 08/05:
"Lawyers, I suppose, were children once." ~ Charles Lamb

Some people believe that any being capable of creating a universe wouldn't even notice us let alone care about us.

This is a completely incoherent view of God.

Any being immense and powerful enough to create a universe certainly possesses the ability to know and care about everything that being created.

So, I don't find it strange that God knows us and loves us. I would find it strange if it wasn’t the case.

But people who have a low opinion of themselves or of humanity find the idea surprising to the point that it feels like narcissism.

Self-love is bad, right ?

Maybe someone in their lives taught them they're unlovable. Maybe enough people in their lives hurt them that they concluded no one is lovable.

But there's no virtue in hating yourself.

There's no virtue in hating humanity.

It's a crippling, shriveled, bleak, and sterile view of humanity and the universe.

I reject it utterly.

If you find it difficult to accept love from the Creator of the universe, then remind yourself that you haven't earned it.

No one is loved by the Creator because they deserve it.

They are loved, because the Creator is love. It's freely-given by the God who can infinitely afford to give it.

Love is the greatest power in the universe, and there's a never-ending supply of it from our Creator.
