crazy love


The love for equals - is a human thing.


The love for the less fortunate - is a beautiful thing.

The love for those who suffer, are poor, are sick, the failures, the unlovely. - This is compassion.

The love for the more fortunate, those who succeed where we fail, the poor for the rich - is a rare thing.

Then there's the love for the enemy who mocks, threatens & inflicts pain. The tortured's love the for the torturer - This is God's love. It conquers the world.


My summary of Frederick Buechner's quote
from The Magnificent Defeat
