Insightful. Powerful. Thought-provoking, Garrett. I especially loved this: “That is our beautiful plight in life. It is the tension within the spirit of Man: we dream up the furthest but can only reach so far. No matter how much progress you make, you will always be the same distance from the horizon.” This is a universal perspective that applies to all, no matter what faith, if any, that one might possess.
Hilarious: "Our road-raging Uber driver cursed at a not-so-good Samaritan while some Christians sang over the radio about how God's everlasting love works through us all."
Garrett, lovely essay with such a potent closing remark: "think of yourself as an all-seeing moral judge." Our society, though we think we're sophisticated and orderly, lives on the brink of chaos. In COVID times people acted like barbarians, hoarding so many supplies that some people had nothing. This is partially understandable as people were scared and times were tough, but if more of us walked through the world discerning right from wrong and doing our best to uphold moral law, regardless of the actions of others, the world might be a little bit better of a place.

So well structured and written. So much for me to think about. Sharing this on my FB page - I want everyone to read it and ponder.
