But until we encounter that hurt face to face, we (and definitely I), push it off. Ignore it. We see it, but stand still.
What's it going to take for us to see and act? What if someone in AAIV started hurting themselves? Would that change the way we approach how important it is to see our fellow members as not weird but sons and daughters loved by God?
Or would that not even be enough for us to take action? Do we have to wait for headlines to appear until we act?
What are grades, projects, and jobs in comparison to lives? We say we want to save lives? What about those around us, right now? Are they less than our "high callings," of our future patients as doctors, our future clients as consults, or coworkers as engineers?
How arrogant am I to think that I am too good for them.
I say this again, humility is the essence of Christianity.
