"What does God require? He has told you o'man! Be just, be merciful, and walk humbly with your Lord." -Micah 6:8
2,000 years ago the cross had NO symbolic religious meaning. When Jesus said: "Pick up your cross and follow me" everyone back then understood he was issuing a political statement, for crucifixion was Rome's way of ridding itself of rebels, dissidents, outlaws, outcasts and any who disturbed the status quo of the elite.
Keren also introduced me to this quote by Allen Ginsburg: "F-- hope! It's not about hope. You don't do what you do because you hope things will get better. It's about getting up every morning and asking yourself what's the right thing to do and doing it."
