continuing the dramatic scary animal series...

hope, love, forgiveness

oh dear. sorry--for the invisible ink earlier... here is what it should have been


"Nothing that is worth doing can be achieved in our lifetime;
therefore, we must be saved by hope...

Nothing we do, however virtuous, can be accomplished alone; 

therefore, we are saved by love. 

No virtuous act is quite as virtuous 

from the standpoint of our friend or foe as it is from our standpoint. 

Therefore, we must be saved by the final form of love, 

which is forgiveness." 

from the Op-Ed: Tree of Failure, David Brooks
