Today's brief post is brought to you by... conscience and humility.
I was sitting around thinking why I feel better, feel more righteous, feel more complete with a bible with a leather (whether genuine leather or simulated leather) cover than just a plain hardback cover? Why is the cover important? The inside content is the exact same, the only different is the cover material. Is it a reputation thing? A pride thing?
That lead to the truly sobering, humbling thought... our interactions with people are no different. The inside content of people is the same, it is only the outside "covering" that is different. And yet we still feel different... more righteous, more complete, more comfortable, more at ease with certain groups. Why is that?
I don't know, I wish I did.. just a sobering thought to consider today.
