Chapter 1 reflections.
This sentence struck my inner chord most:
Brothers, I urge you, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, not to have factions among yourselves but all to be in agreement in what you profess; so that you are perfectly united in your beliefs and judgements.
This world has far too many divides: race, language, religion, nationality, gender, and the list goes on inexhaustibly. I remember someone asking me what my race was, even though she knew I was Chin-dian. I told her Indian. It was a shock when i saw the disbelief, and even contempt, on her face. Then I ask, most nonchalantly, does it matter? Gasped, she said it matters! She explained, in the workplace, where the Chinese race was more employable, it does matter, that even on the pink card, the word CHINESE encrypted on it was something employers look out for. Though I do not deny this discrimination, I find it abhorrent to stoop to such insignificance in order to gain some footing in the workplace.
ON a more objective and microscopic perspective, there are also many divides within each of ourselves that we need to gleen and unite...
