These were some quotes that were in our church bulletin from Sunday that I thought were worth sharing.
The opposite of love is not hatred; it is indifference. When we have learned indifference, when we are really skilled and determined at the business of ignoring others, of putting our own well-being, or own options, first–of thursting our own ego into life, as the ideal form of life itself–we may be quite certain that at that point, life has become hell. We need be no more thoroughly damned.
–Daniel Berrigan
My so-called love for humanity, for instance, isn’t something I get to carry around in my heart. It has to find application among the weird, desperate people who populate my daily experience. It has to put on flesh. If it doesn’t, I might take pleasure in the warm, fuzzy feeling of my personal, private faith, but it wouldn’t be appropriate to call it Christianity.

Wow.
Dark’s quote just gave me the chills.
Thanks, I needed it.
