From “Discernment: Reading the Signs of Daily Life” by Henri Nouwen with Michael J. Christensen and Rebecca J. Laird
Within the churches there are as many opinions and visions as outside the churches. There is no virtue that is not called sin somewhere, and no particular sin that is not called virtue somewhere else. Within a mile of each other, people say and think diametrically opposed things, live diametrically opposed lives, and act in diametrically opposed ways. There is an enormous freedom to choose your own way of thinking, talking, or acting, and whatever your choice, someone will praise you and someone will blame you, but most likely very few will intervene. You and I are on our own in a world of our own making. A frightening freedom. Who can live it and not get lost?
