Life is difficult, complicated, confusing and often chaotic
As Christians, we are commanded to live in love. What does that mean? How does the understanding that we called to live in love help us in our desire to be able to grow in the virtue of humility so as to be able ‘to confront’ ourselves? Again the word ‘confrontation’ has a bad reputation because people are often confronted when they get fed up with the antics of others, and lose it, blow up, attack, and in the end do more damage than actually helping anyone. Life is difficult, complicated, confusing and often chaotic. We as a species tend to be narcissistic; we see things from our point of view, want things to go our way and will work hard at making this happen. The problem is it never happens, or if it does, for only a short time. People really can’t be changed through force, shame or intimidation. They can be cowed, but in the end that tends to back fire.--BrMD
