There are times when life can seem very complicated. Just watch a political talk show for a half hour and it seems that there are never simple solutions to an issue. Or one person seems to have all the answers and if only they were in charge then things would simply fall into place.
Or take an issue of injustice, such as poverty. It might be fine if we were able to just given a million micro-loans and stimulate some people but there are always layers: environmental scandals causing widespread disease contributing to lose of hope and apathy...the list goes on.
Before my mind can even venture into these things, I easily get overwhelmed with living my own (despite it being relatively privileged) life.
Recently I read something that really put this into perspective for me. Henry Nouwen writes,
"What is important is how well we love."
Hmmmm...
