'To eliminate suffering entirely would mean, in the end, extinguishing love and desire as well.
Those who love and desire cannot avoid passing through trial and suffering; and over the years, we carry within us lessons that leave their mark like scars, the memories of a journey shaped by freedom and failure, dreams and disappointments.
It is only thanks to the interplay of these elements that the wonders of the soul occur within us, allowing us to sense the richness of our humanity'

NFL teams put on their classic uniforms and 95% of fans either go: I miss these, or, holy shit, these are spectacular, they used to wear these!?
And NFL teams respond: "YEP! Anyway, here's our redesigned and modernized minimalist mediocrities, we'll be wearing these going forward!" 🥴

Violence we have suffered cannot be erased, but when we grant forgiveness to those who offend us, we experience a foretaste of the Kingdom of God on earth. It is the fruit of God’s work that puts an end to evil.

I would like that today we may together begin to build a culture of reconciliation. We must meet one another, heal our wounds, and forgive the wrongs we did and did not do, but whose effects we still carry. There are no enemies — only brothers and sisters. What we need are gestures and policies of reconciliation.
