Re: Some Good Things to Come Out of the Recovery?
To provide further perspective as UntoHim has given us....
“...all things---our lives, our beings, our breath---come as gifts from God. Of ourselves we have nothing. All our notions of ownership are an illusion; all our pride, a deception. We are not sovereign but completely dependent. Everything we have---our possessions, our money, our riches, every moment of our lives---everything has been given to us.
Every heartbeat is borrowed. … “
In other words, what do we have that we didn’t receive?
The greatest failure of Lee, et al, was the failure to acknowledge what he had received and to instead take undue credit. Whatever is truly “good” comes as a gift from God. That “the recovery” credits Lee is a fundamental flaw and necessitates grasping at straws to find the “good”.
I understand the desire to exonerate “it”, but perspective is needed as UntoHim states.
