As difficult as it is to talk about anger, sin and creating negative perceptions about people in this current time. I think it is essential to remember ancient words that challenge our great ability to be shallow and not recognize the power of our idealized self to cut us all off from being real, before ourselves, others and God.

It is better for the world to know you as a sinner, than God to know you as a hypocrite. St. John the Chrysostom

It is good for us to hear God’s voice in anger. “This people draws near me with their mouth and honor me with their lips, but their heart is far from me” St. John of Kronstadt

Better is a little with the fear of the Lord than a great treasure and trouble with it. Better is a dinner of herbs where love is than a fatted Ox and hatred with it. Proverbs 15
