Ever wonder how people can be so ignorant?  The thing is to understand their ignorance you have to actually understand people – and that requires knowledge.

Until you’re ready to put some thought into ignorance, you’ll never understand it.

Which is really ironic if you consider it.

So we have Banned Book Week where we look at books panned in places encourage people to read them.

I think this is great, but let me make another suggestion.

Go write a book that dives so deep, goes so far, explores things so uncomfortable (but necessary) someone wants to ban it.

As you write?  Ask yourself why your idea would be banned- is it true, is it offensive, is it honest, is it ignorant?

So often we try to get bigger.  We’re always running away from ourselves, trying to expand who we are, and get away from everything we hate, from our sins.

Maybe we should try to be smaller.  Stop being so big.  Let the big world be itself, and we’ll find there’s really enough room for us sins and our mistakes and we can go on.
