We have a guy who lives down the road. He’s all brawn, not a speck of fat on him. Tattoos. He can talk a mean talk too. Not a guy you want to mess with. He drives a big, black 4-wheel drive truck. Fast.

The other day, he was barreling down the road in his truck. He screeched to a halt. Got out. Picked up an abandoned kitten and took it home.

From 21st Century Science and Health, “Science reveals the fact that mortal personality has nothing to do with our real personhood. We call the human character a personality. Human personality is a dream, and the dream or belief goes on whether our eyes are closed or open. A wicked person may have an attractive personality; therefore, human personality is not the true character of spiritual person…The Bible declares: “All things were made through Him, and without Him nothing was made that was made.”[1] This is the eternal truth of Christian Science. If human transgressions, vulnerabilities, and losses were understood as nonbeing, they would disappear to the reality of good which naturally banishes evil, just as acts of kindness make self-pity go away. One must hide the other. How important, then, to choose good as the reality! We are secured by God, Spirit, and by nothing else. God’s being is infinity, freedom, balance, and boundless happiness.”

[1] John 1:3 (NKJV)
