Forgiveness is extraordinary

Hate is commonplace.
I hate the guy who cut me off in traffic.

Violence is the norm.
The arm that wielded the club now cradles the machine gun.

But the love of humankind, despite our flaws,
which allows a person to forgive the one
who murdered their relative or friend.

That is important.
That is transcendent.
That is extraordinary!

Thank you for helping me to once again believe
that we humans might be worth saving.
