The Power Of Forgiveness Falls Short Again

The revolution that I'd like to see
is the revolution with no enemy,
with no scapegoats to be punished
when mistaken aims are missed. 

Such a hierarchy could never last;
it is asking too much to be given
through the power of forgiveness.

Take It Back

Because to take it back before it might be let out
is to show a measure of self control,
and self control is older than Christianity
as much as it is now a key part of Christianity.  

 

When Two Minds Met, Where They Least Expected To....

This photo apparently marks the end of Matador Torero Alvaro Munera's career. 
He collapsed in remorse mid-fight when he realized he was having to prompt 
this otherwise gentle beast to fight.  He went on to avidly oppose bullfighting.
Even grievously wounded by picadors, the bull did not attack this man.

Torrero Munera is quoted as saying of this moment: "And suddenly,
I looked at the bull. He had this innocence that all animals have in their eyes,
and he looked at me with this pleading.  It was like a cry for justice,
deep down inside of me.  I describe it as being like a prayer - because
if one confesses, it is hoped, that one is forgiven".
