I just read an article where Trump is reported to have said “I don’t think science knows actually” after telling people what he thought would happen.
I mentioned the other night that the ER demand for a citizens assembly to manage climate change issues was flawed. But to those in the group it was natural to believe they were at the centre of community thinking.
We recently saw statues being ripped down because people knew that they were right in their views.
The growth in the “I’m right and represent what the world should believe” seems unstoppable. I see it in politics and I see it in social media. Few people are able to take part in a disagreement without abusing others.
Jesus said, “‘Love the Lord your God with all your passion and prayer and intelligence.’ This is the most important, the first on any list. But there is a second to set alongside it: ‘Love others as well as you love yourself.’ These two commands are pegs; everything in God’s Law and the Prophets hangs from them.
Love others as you love yourself. A good guide to how we should live our life. I have “snoozed” a lot of people on Facebook, not as much because of what they are saying, but more because of how they say it. Too much self belief can be a bad thing if it is not tempered with a belief in others.
The good news is that I heard our little owl tonight for the first time in ages. I was getting worried.
