Why do we do this? why do we pick out differences and search for things that cause us to fight and argue and have battles and kill each other?
Why does the whole human race indulge in violence, oppression, murder, destruction of everything pure and beautiful?
Did God intend for things to be this way?
Did he command people to kill whoever doesn't agree with them?
Did he want to see all the bloodshed and the struggle to spread dominion over worthless pieces of land, or assertion of nationalities or religions?
Did he want everyone to be the same?
So why don't genocides work?
Why don't we all look the same, think the same, act the same?
Is there something wrong with being different from your friends, your coworkers, the person you love?
Is there some kind of curse of eternal damnation that befalls whoever thinks of ignoring differences and focusing on the commonalities?
Does God want that?
Then what does He want?

Hej Monica! Nice to see a new post! I have been checking in to see what you are writing about, but have been too stressed out to write a comment. But things are better today, so here is a comment haha. That was a beautiful and moving text that you wrote! A text by a child of grace! :) I have not forgotten about Facebook, but I have not had a chance to sit down and read the "terms of use" yet. I Hope everything is going well for you and yours! God bless you! :)
