Do not let anyone tell you
That kindness
Is a privilege
For other times.
Do not let anyone convince you
That truth
Is peripheral
To the necessity of
Getting some things done.
Do not let anyone berate you
That hope is
Irrelevant
And you are somehow
Weak
For holding on
To empathy, veracity, civility, belief.
They are all
Relevant.
Especially
Now.

Thank you. My nephew took it. As for your post, I think religion is complicated and the concept of God is just as varied. I don’t know that I could boil it down to your conclusions in your post but discussion of religion, spirituality, God, goodness and morality is a fair one to have, whether we agree with each other or not. And yes, kindness matters. Thanks for stopping by!

The photograph, how appropriate it was for this verse. The hanging petal showing the degradation on life. The verse, relying on the input of other to determine what is of value assumes the same. Both are able to overcome, one is assured!. Will it be two? Thank you for sharing.🌼🌹🌺
