Get me right

Regarding my post on activism, I am a bit apprehensive that I may not be understood. (This happens a lot.) Activism of the kind I mentioned, whether it is in the service of a more "conservative" stand or a more "progressive" one, runs a huge risk of being a power play in disguise. Nothing pleases Satan more than convincing people that they are serving the truth while they blithely ignore the bigger picture (and a vaster, encompassing truth). We are called to make a daily examination of conscience for just this purpose: to uncover the hidden agendas behind our own choices.
