Quote by Eleanor Roosevelt

You can't move so fast that you try to change the mores faster than people can accept it. That doesn't mean you do nothing, but it means that you do the things that need to be done according to priority.

You can't move so fast that you try to change the mores fast

Summary

Sometimes, it's necessary to address societal issues, challenge norms, and effect change. However, this quote suggests that progress shouldn't be pursued at a pace that exceeds society's readiness. Instead, it advocates for taking action, but in a way that prioritizes what needs to be done and considers people's capacity to accept change. It implies that effective change requires a balanced approach, where necessary actions are undertaken while allowing society enough time to catch up and embrace new ideas and values.

If Christ is God, He cannot sin, and if suffering was a sin

If Christ is God, He cannot sin, and if suffering was a sin in and by itself, He could not have suffered and died for us. However, since He took the most horrific death to redeem us, He showed us in fact that suffering and pain have great power.
