Quote by Hans Urs von Balthasar

The Christian response is contained in these two fundamental dogmas: that of the Trinity and that of the Incarnation. In the trinitarian dogma God is one, good, true, and beautiful because he is essentially Love, and Love supposes the one, the other, and their unity.

Summary

This quote highlights the importance of two fundamental Christian beliefs: the Trinity and the Incarnation. In terms of the Trinity, God is understood as being one but also possessing qualities such as goodness, truth, and beauty because at his core, he is Love. Love necessitates the existence of more than one entity (the one who loves, the one who is loved, and their unifying love). The Incarnation refers to the belief that God became human through Jesus Christ, emphasizing the connection between the divine and the earthly realms. Overall, these dogmas provide the Christian framework for comprehending God's nature and his relationship with humanity.

I think people tend to see the bigger point, which is maybe not fitting in and feeling like you didn't have the childhood that you expected you would have, or that you felt lonely or struggled with drugs and alcohol or just that you were able to achieve your dreams.

Its complicated, on one level. On another, its the same old stupid story - we aren't enlightened. We disagree, fall in love, and hate eachother, the whole spectrum of human experience. We have differences of opinion, and sometimes, we can't resolve those differences peacefully. If a disagreement goes for long enough, and is important enough, people start to take sides. Once people start to take sides, conflict is inevitable.
