So much damage in the world is done by the sharp edges of those who can no longer manage to hold the pieces of their shattered hearts in place.
How have you handed on hurt that was done to you? How have you been hurt by someone acting out their own pain?
“Most of the evil in this world is done by people with good intentions.”
―T.S. Eliot
When have you meant to do good, but actually caused harm?
Does the sexy black car go with Batman or the supervillain? Even in the stylized world of comic books it isn’t always obvious what good or evil looks like.
On first meeting someone, what signs make you think they are or are not trustworthy?
“If only there were evil people somewhere insidiously committing evil deeds, and it were necessary only to separate them from the rest of us and destroy them. But the line dividing good and evil cuts through the heart of every human being. And who is willing to destroy a piece of his own heart?”
―Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
What evil have you found in your own heart?
Boundaries of various sorts can be healthy, and even necessary. And yet, it is all too common for fear to build fences where bridges might serve us better.
What fence around your heart do you wish were not so high or so sharp?
