Good news, bad news. Stories are powerful.
As we watch Congress this week and consider contrasting descriptions of two individuals' pasts, which stories do we believe?
Is it the power of the story that makes us reach our conclusion or who the storyteller is?
The power of the facts?
And/or our life experiences and personal beliefs that inform our perception of what is "true"?
What is compassionate?
What is fair?
What is just?
What is wisdom?
What is the right thing to do?
The values of American micro-cultures are in full view right now. Are we creating what we aspire to be? Still hoping.
