We learned in grade school about “checks and balances.“ Now we have with this court “hating and abetting.“
“People may spend their whole lives climbing the ladder of success only to find, once they reach the top, that the ladder is leaning against the wrong wall.”

“Our job is to love others without stopping to inquire whether or not they are worthy. That is not our business and, in fact, it is nobody's business. What we are asked to do is to love, and this love itself will render both ourselves and our neighbors worthy.”
Thomas Merton
Over the centuries the Jesuits have done great good and also engendered a few negatives. Listen to the presupposition of St Ignatius:
“it is necessary to suppose that every good (person) is more ready to put a good interpretation on another’s statement than to condemn it as false.”
Good words

I recently heard the 1972 Bill Withers’ song “Lean on Me.” I was struck by the lyrics as so germane to our time. In the words of Rodney King: “Can’t we all just get along?”
