A
kaleidoscope of convictions and affiliations constantly hovers before our eyes,
coloring and even obstructing our view of the world.
It’s
as though our houses have dirty windows, and we’re trying to make sense of
what’s going on outside.
We
only see what our eyes can make out through the dirt and grime on the
windowpanes, and we use this incomplete knowledge to interpret every thing.
What
if, however, we cleaned those windowpanes?
What if we emphasized the importance of edification instead of our
personal allegiances? What if we focused
on establishing a healthy community rather than our individual desires?
What
would the world look like if we allowed our personal convictions and opinions
to only enrich our view of the world, instead of blinding us to it?
