βEarth, I think, will not be found by anyone to be in the end a very distinct place. I think earth, if chosen instead of Heaven,will turn out to have been,all along,only a region in Hell: and earth, if put second to Heaven,to have been from the beginning a part of Heaven itself.β
βMost of us fall short when it comes to letting others be, because of two strong and very human tendencies: We compare ourselves with others (w/c leads us to criticize or compete w them), and we attempt to control others (w/c results in our manipulating or intimidating them).β
βThe inescapable fact is that more often than not we nullify grace rather than magnify it. We resist it much more often than we release it. What is it within us that hinders an attitude of horizontal grace from flowing freely?β
