#Evil has an agenda to spread. #Lies are important to that agenda. #Truth needs to be disregarded. By ignoring truth, one makes #justice impossible. bit.ly/3Tz8mQW

There's a special relationship btw the via negativa & the via transformativa: as we learn more sensitivity from suffering, we tune more into the suffering of others, & moral imagination (vias creativa & transformativa) engages to assist in the relief of the suffering of others. bit.ly/3X5SbMD

As long as humans bog down in addictive superficialities from #consumer-driven economic culture, we'll be locked in a squirrel cage of #work&spend w/ no time to ask: Why am I here? What can I offer? How do I give back my #love, #gratitude & #wisdom? #MeaningfulHolidays #Advent bit.ly/4kxtIcG

#Spirituality (unlike much organized #religion) is about the #wisdom we all carry inside of us: The dreams, the aspirations, the yearning of #soul, the ability to let go, to forgive, to move on, to struggle, to survive, to care, to be strong, to honor what is beautiful & what matters. bit.ly/4kxtIcG

There can be no #community w/o a quest for #facts and #truths we can share in common. #Lies will tear communities apart from the inside out, indeed from "a #schism in the human heart." (~Jungian teacher Sue Mehrtens) bit.ly/3Tz8mQW

The #Magnificat is a good antidote vs. those trying to displace #democracy w/ #autocracy. "He has routed the proud of heart. He has pulled down #princes from their thrones & exalted the #lowly. The #hungry he has filled w/ good things, the #rich sent empty away." #liberationtheology bit.ly/3Tz8mQW

Let every man know that true #manliness isn't about power-over or the domination that #rape signifies. True manliness & #virility are about #virtue (vir means man in Latin). Let us teach that to our boys & men, court judges, politicians & media-buying billionaires. bit.ly/4kJtcbH

That #masculinity is in flux (& should be, given #patriarchy's damages & excesses) is no secret. But MAGA's definition is problematic: centering on #grievance & #anger leaves a lot out. bit.ly/4kJtcbH

#Aquinas: "Avarice gives rise to insensibility to compassion, b/c one’s heart is not softened by compassion to assist the needy w/ one’s riches. It gives rise to restlessness by hindering one w/ excessive anxiety & care for ‘an avaricious man shall not be satisfied w/ money’"(Ec 5:9) bit.ly/4kxtIcG

A gov't sans regulation is not a gov't of “we the people” but of “we the billionaires." Without regulation, gov't becomes available to the highest bidder & is guaranteed to be a gov't of greed, avarice & corruption. Of, by & for the greedy- What could possibly go wrong? bit.ly/3WQaZPq
