The universe has drawn me to reading Herbert's Dune series, viewing the new version of Crichton's Westworld, whilst breaking out of a relationship with a woman who was addicted to holdin on the abusive patterns she lived a victim of her whole life.
Substitute teaching for the roughest school in Wilmington DE (a girl was violently killed there this year) also has me questioning my theory....it seems love may not be enough, maybe I was missing something in the story of the torture of Jesus?
Shouldn't we be able to learn truth without pain?
