Whether we want to be or not
All humanity is one community and we all have one global sickness. We are all contagious and always have been, unconsciously infecting one another and yet caring for one another. There is really no division. Sometimes we need to be cared for and other times we do the caring. We must learn to stand in these two different places and then change places as life happens.
There are no perfect answers or absolute heroes. We must all wear a mask to protect the other from "me". Don't play the victim; it's a waste of time, yours and everyone else's. Just realize you and everyone else are in the circle of life. We will all have our time to suffer, to serve and to hopefully be, albeit slowly, enlightened.
Paraphrased from the letter Richard Rohr sent today.
