Separate Realities
There are the stories we tell ourselves about ourselves and others and then there is what actually takes place on Planet Earth. It is distressing in the extreme when the individuals vying to be elected to the highest office in the land inhabit a fantasy world and disseminate a false and defamatory narrative in order to achieve their political ambitions. But that is the current state of American politics.

Matthew 5: 38-48
Although I am not a Christian, I consider these commandments to be binding upon me:
38 Ye have heard that it hath been said, An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth:
39 But I say unto you, That ye resist not evil: but whosoever shall smite thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also.
40 And if any man will sue thee at the law, and take away thy coat, let him have thy cloak also.
41 And whosoever shall compel thee to go a mile, go with him twain.
42 Give to him that asketh thee, and from him that would borrow of thee turn not thou away.
43 Ye have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt love thy neighbour, and hate thine enemy.
44 But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you;
45 That ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust.
46 For if ye love them which love you, what reward have ye? do not even the publicans the same?
47 And if ye salute your brethren only, what do ye more than others? do not even the publicans so?
48 Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect.
I wonder how many Christians consider themselves to be bound by these same commandments. Very few, I should think. Very few indeed.
Go figure...
