Quote by Ted Chiang

“Help me to understand other people’s positions, Lord, even when I don’t share them. At the same time, grant me the strength to not ignore wrongdoing simply because it is committed by someone who is well intentioned. Let me be compassionate while remaining true to my convictions. Amen.”

You can delete me from your phone. I'm going to keep you in mine and change your name to an emoji, just like you did with me.
