Our second reading for this Sunday states that "we are always courageous." That certainly is our hope. But in many situations, we are anything but courageous. Sometimes, we even feel that we have been discounted as others state their convictions with such force and with an ideological twist that is so different from our own. Without judging one another, at times it seems that some people just want to create an argument that we realize quickly will get nowhere but be a waste of time and energy. At other times, we might simply be lost as to how to respond. In the coming weeks, I want to explore this type of interaction and try to understand why people act this way and what we can do about it. If anyone has questions or suggestion about this topic, please let me know.
