From “Life Worth Living: A Guide to What Matters Most” by Miroslav Volf, Matthew Croasmun, and Ryan McAnnally-Linz
We are all seeking the same things. We’re all seeking dignity. We’re all seeking joy. We’re all seeking love and acceptance, seeking to be seen, to be safe. And there is no competition for these things we seek – because they are not material goods; they are spiritual gifts!
We can all give each other these gifts if we share what we know – what has lifted us up and moved us forward. That is our duty to one another – to help each other toward acceptance, toward peace, toward happiness.
