@drshearosslyn Q3: Individuals often put up masks to hide their true intentions, and societies are no different. Treatment of "the other" is a peek behind that mask, a viewing of the true face of that society. #langgang
@drshearosslyn Certainly there is serious tension between certainty and doubt.The Puritan leaders in The Crucible had to enforce a strict law and maintain absolute certainty in order to maintain power. They could either remain as a solid rock or fuel the fires of hysteria by giving in to doubt.
@drshearosslyn "Pride goes before destruction, a haughty spirit before a fall." Proverbs 16: 18.
I think that pride is the most insidious of all sin, and is thus the most deadly.
Eyes, hundreds of eyes, boring into my soul. I gaze out across the crowd, desperately trying to avoid my condemners stares. Never have I been so noticed, yet so utterly alone. Something is burning. #langgang
