Shared Suffering

It is our suffering that connects us to humanity — unfortunately, it seems to be our shared suffering that makes us human (or keeps us human). 

Too often, when we acquire wealth, our primary utilization of it is to avoid suffering. But, even though it is just an illusion, we don’t realize that it is that avoidance that too often separates us, not only from humanity, but from our own humanity.

Even Jesus knew this…

and came to show us how.
