| this quick post elaborates on the following quote from Jordan Peterson: “Do You Really Want a Safe Place? Is that what you want? You want to be so weak that you are protected from threats? What the hell kind of life is that? You are a paralyzed rabbit in a hole. That is no life for a human being. You should be confronting danger and the unknown and malevolence. The reason for that is: The solution to the problem of tragedy and malevolence is the willingness to face them now. … Because the more you confront the two of them, the more you grow, and maybe you can grow so that you are actually larger than the chaos and malevolence itself…” To which I would add that we can have a safe place, but one that we take wherever we go. A safe place that does not depend on circumstances around us, a place where we have peace beyond understanding. It is in God, it is the armor of God, which is Jesus, and He is larger than all chaos and malevolence. |
