Another passage from my Lenten black book:

"Vengeance prevents us from moving forward, for it simply adds evil to evil. Jesus calls us to break the vicious circle of evil for evil, and to respond to evil with goodness, thus bringing creation closer to its destiny."

Something even more thought provoking from yet another passage, quoting Einstein:

"Looking at the colossal universe with all the great forces whirling about and sometimes colliding, stars exploding, he asked: 'Is all this ultimately benevolent or malevolent - working toward life or toward death?'"

That perhaps, is a question that can be applied to our life daily, is what we are doing working towards life in myself and others? Or am I slowling killing myself - physically, spiritually?

Thoughts, thoughts. More for another day. Think yourself.
