"I simply refuse to do the master's bidding. He may torture me, break my bones to atoms and even kill me. He will then have my dead body, not my obedience. Ultimately, therefore, it is I who am the victor and not he, for he has failed in getting me to do what he wanted done."

A people who refuse to despise one another are immune to authoritarians because an authoritarian’s power depends on certain groups of people despising other groups of people.
This is why there’s so much power in Jesus’ words, “love your enemies.”
It is an act of resistance.

What this shot didn’t pick up were the millions of tiny bugs that formed the haze. They were above the last drops of moisture the fallow green held back from the desert sun.
They were beautiful in how they formed their yellowish haze with the sun.
