It is because we don't know Who we are, because we are unaware that the Kingdom of Heaven is within us, that we behave in the generally silly, the often insane, the sometimes criminal ways that are so characteristically human.
I wonder if we believe this. Do I believe that the Kingdom of Heaven is within ALL of us? It's probably a needless debate, because the salient point is that the Kingdom of Heaven is within ME, and I am the only one I am responsible for; this should change my life.
One of the most sensible quotes ever, Ruth! And with such a gorgeous image!
