This is one of our our greatest failings in the modern internet age, that we rightly believe that our own lives are complex things that defy easy comprehension, but fail to extend that same grace to others. When it comes to their lives, especially those with whom we disagree, we suddenly possess the ability to derive a doctorate thesis’ worth of conclusions about their story and motivations, from only the smallest fragments of data. The truth? No human life is so easily circumscribed, neither our own nor others. We are all fearfully and wonderfully made, and our stories more like tortured works of art than simplistic mathematical equations that can be cracked through deduction, then summarized in 140 characters. ~ Peter Chin Please take a few minutes and read this. In this hyperpartisan, politically charged environment in which we live, this is a lesson we all need to learn.
