Forget the Varnish

"Sometimes we judge others most harshly for the sins we see in ourselves; we think that by revealing that sin in others, we won’t feel so badly about the wretchedness we see in our own hearts. But maybe in learning to love others, we could also learn to love ourselves. Maybe there is this wonderful cycle of love that we are meant to repeat, over and over, until all the world is loved and all the world is forgiven.”
