The wholeness of good and evil

The wholeness of good and evil, light and dark adds new meaning to depth in conversing: the good and the evil each give relief to the other, allow them to be seen, allowing us to choose the better, wholer way.

Community’s role is central

The job of working out wholeness belongs to the community. Community’s role is central. We cannot be whole as individuals because there is much more of us out there. The good need the evil and vice versa. It is not about cutting this out of people for it is part of our being; it is somehow about loving including. What does that mean and what can it look like? This is the task of community.

Life is not a battle with evil

Life is not in battle with death, with evil, for evil is a part of each of us, or humanity, as much as death. As if the right foot were at war against the left! We cannot chop off evil; we can only love the person, can only practice wholeness. This is precisely why hurt and hope arise at once in the telling of human stories. Telling and hearing are in community: they are essential to wholeness and therefore so is community. Because hearing is necessary to telling, community is necessary to wholing.
