“We can carry the burden of hurt throughout our lives. We can make the hurt that we have experienced the defining aspect of our stories of ourselves. That means that somebody else gets to say who we are, somebody else gets to decide how we feel, and somebody else gets to decide how we see the world. Forgiveness not only frees us from the burden of someone else's opinion of us, but it allows us the opportunity to really write a story of ourselves that we can love, enjoy, relish, and live into.” WorldFeelsWritingMeanStoriesOpportunityEnjoyHurtOpinionOur LivesAspectBurdenWho We AreDefiningRelish Author:Desmond Tutu

The problems that they're suffering from are very nuanced, but they're granular in nature and they require real intentional planning in order to begin to lift the burden off of some of these communities that have been generationally and inter-generationally plagued by those kinds of problems. The challenge will remain. Whether we can rise to it, will the establishment rise to those challenges is a different question.” PeopleWayKindHas BeensDifferentRealProblemSufferingOrderCommunityChallengesHurtBurdenPlanningLiftsEstablishmentReal Deep Author:Andrew Gillum
