What I say is mean and cruel and destructive , unless we are avoiding seeing what could save us. And I believe the latter is the case. We start with the assumption that we cannot find the courage and the wisdom now to stand up and save the world. We start from that assumption. We start from the comfortable assumption that we are already defeated but we will find some satisfaction in fighting anyway. So we don't ask the question that the healthy mother or father asks when their child requires a miracle, what would I have to do? We never ask that question. We never ask that question because it is too frightening to us and we don't care to face the Fright even though that is the only way to give our children and grandchildren a prayer.
