look out! this gravity is disguised as grace.

We set things aside without knowing we are doing so, that is precisely where the danger lies. Or, which is still worse, we set them aside by an act of the will, but by an act of the will that is furtive in relation to ourselves. Afterwards we do not any longer know that we have set anything aside. We do not want to know it, and, by dint of not wanting to know it, we reach the point of not being able to know it.

This is where apathy disguises itself as sympathy. We believe we really do care, but in actuality we are feeding the dead. Our motives are disguised as God's and our time is submitted to Gravity instead of Grace- meanwhile we are pulled down and imagine the sky is below us. Often our inversion of this must come about by affliction. Luckily, this affliction, coming from God is Grace.
