When I was a little child (hypersensitive that I am), I witnessed suffering and injustices all around me. Within my own home, I was amazed at how people (in their own suffering) inflicted suffering on the bigger group. (When you love someone, you don't "shoot them with arrows",) Finger pointing, "shame" and other "reducing tactics" by a sufferer certainly can't make a sufferer feel any better . . . I would think (if they were at all "other" centered) it would make them suffer even more.
In time, I learned (like you said, David) God put me in the family He did to lift me higher . . . That I might see as He sees. I completely agree with your words David! Very true!
