A wonderful problem

Filed under Quotes by bornfamous around 10:42 pm

… Then it was as if I suddenly saw the secret beauty of their hearts,
the depths where neither sin nor desire can reach,
the person that each one is in God’s eyes.
If only they could see themselves as they really are.
If only we could see each other that way,
there would be no reason for war, for hatred, for cruelty …
I suppose the big problem would be that
we would fall down and worship each other.

- Thomas Merton
