The Face of God: Compassion, Selfishness, and What It Means to Be Christ-Like

The Face of God: Compassion, Selfishness, and What It Means to Be Christ-Like Sometimes we act like selfish assholes. You do it. I do it. We all do. And strangely enough, that’s part of the story. Because it is in contrast—selfishness—that compassion becomes visible. The Paradox of Human Nature Without moments of resentment, frustration, or even detachment from others, compassion would not stand out as anything meaningful. The fact that we can feel irritation toward others—and still choose kindness—reveals something important about human behavior. It is not the absence of negativity that defines us. It is what we choose to do in spite of it. What Jesus Actually Pointed To Jesus said: “What good is it to love those who love you?” Even tax collectors do that.

The Lie of “Normal”

  You Were Taught There’s a “Normal” You’ve been taught there’s a normal way to think, feel, and behave. There isn’t. There’s only what most people agree on. And agreement is not the same as truth. If enough people believe something, it becomes “reasonable.” If you don’t, you become the problem. That’s not normal. That’s social compliance . Different Doesn’t Mean Broken Take someone on the autism spectrum. They may read social situations differently. Respond differently. Process differently. Does that make them abnormal? Or does it expose something uncomfortable—that “normal” is just a narrow lens, not an objective reality? What makes sense to you might not make sense to someone else. That doesn’t make either of you wrong. It means you’re operating from different frameworks. We Built a World That Defines “Normal” for You Let’s be honest. You don’t just discover what’s normal—you’re told. You’re told: What success should look like What your body should look like What happin...
